Michael MHK Alf Cannan says a new select committee should be set up to see whether the Island’s policy on agriculture is working.
During Tynwald earlier this week, he asked a series of questions for written answer about the state of Manx farming.
In particular he wanted details on the size of the Island dairy herd, the number of exports going off-Island, and prices paid to farmers for livestock and produce.
He says he’ll call for the select committee during next month’s sitting of the court after the answers he received mirrored worries from the industry:
Drone users reminded not to fly devices during Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix course closures
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
'The Island needs to be able to compete' against other destinations
Public urged to consult on capacity
