Minister outlines position in Keys
There will be a full consultation before a decision is made on whether to corporatise the Isle of Man Post Office.
Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly outlined the position in the House of Keys today.
Last month, Tynwald supported the principle of corporatisation but opposed proposals contained in an independent report, stressing the Island would not benefit from running the post office as a state-owned company rather than a statutory board.
Today, Onchan MHK Peter Karran said it was essential safeguards were in place and Tynwald should retain some form of control over the running of the post office with no commercial confidentiality.
Mr Skelly agreed and said a consultation was appropriate:
Dates for offshore windfarm scrutiny meetings announced
Some residents in Onchan without power
January's inflation rate stays the same
Child benefit payments delayed due to technical issue
Manx Care says it is 'doing a lot of work' to tackle concerns raised by doctors
