MHK's question what DoI knew about new SPC vessel
The Infrastructure Minister has had to, once again, defend his department over the cost of the Liverpool terminal scheme.

Hundreds attend Isle of Man Graduate Fair
No change to diesel prices says EVF after latest shipmentÂ
'No guarantee there'll be any support' amid ongoing fuel crisis
