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:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Programme is for eligible Year 13 students and under-25s
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Price tag has jumped up by £600,000 since scheme was first approved
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
RNLI crew tows vessel back into harbour
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
Police say there's no indication of any wider risk to the public
