Functions must separate pleads Robertshaw
A report has highlighted 'serious failings' in the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture's role as both promoter and regulator of Manx produce.
It says these functions should be separated and has called on the Council of Ministers to consider the issue.
Manx Radio has contacted government for a response.

MHK calls for action over 'atrocious' road signage
Administrative error leaves planning appeal decisions open to legal challenge
Cruise passengers affected by downed railway lines
