This morning in Tynwald (Tuesday), he faced questions from Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan about the decision, announced last month.
Mr Bell said it was a commercial move and there was little the government could do about it.
But he said moving printing over to the UK seemed to contradict the company’s local message.
