Should other ferry companies have the chance to talk to the government before the linkspan user agreement with the Steam Packet Company is extended?
West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas thinks so – and will quiz Infrastructure Minister Laurence Skelly on the issue later today.

Mr Thomas says more companies now seem to be willing to consider setting up services to and from the Island:
