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:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Fly tipping warning from police after instances outside Crossroads
