Government supports local suppliers
The Island’s economic development minister says local suppliers do come first when the government is looking for contractors.
This morning in the House of Keys, Laurence Skelly faced questions from North Douglas MHK Ralph Peake about his support for people spending locally.

But when pressed by Onchan MHK David Quirk, he said he’d have to look into details of the procurement process:
Manx Care hopeful new offer will be accepted amid looming industrial action
Island-based Strix factory to close
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Bride Commissioners organise drop in session about NCAS funding
