Trade and Industry Minister David Cretney has praised students at the Isle of Man College for their 'inquiring minds and thirst for knowledge'.
Mr Cretney, the South Douglas MHK, was speaking after a visit to the College to speak to students and answer questions on Manx Politics.
Among a host of interesting questions were those on a lack of facilities for young people, dental services on the Island, the possibility of a drama based qualification being made available, music festivals, environmental topics and the democracy of the present system of Tynwald.
Mr Cretney says it is important to meet with future leaders to discuss matters of mutual interest:
