Chris Robertshaw hails 'great day'
The government's purchase of the Steam Packet Company is the 'right decision, at the right time, at the right price' - that's according to MHK Chris Robertshaw.
The member for Douglas East supported the move in Tynwald this month, labelling last Tuesday 'a great day'.
Treasury is preparing to formalise the deal this week.
Mr Robertshaw says the government is doing the right thing in taking control of a vital service:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
MU continuing to engage with stakeholders
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Gareth Underwood was pronounced dead at Noble's Hospital
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Men from UK stopped by police in July 2025
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
Island's inflation rate jumps to 4.9%
Government gives assurance as inflation soars
'No immediate changes to gas prices or supply'
