Chief Minister discusses Brexit during BIC summit
The Chief Minister hopes talks with senior British politicians will help ensure Manx views are taken into consideration during Brexit negotiations.
Howard Quayle spoke with UK Minister for the Cabinet Office David Lidington MP, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and junior Brexit minister Robin Walker MP during this week's British Irish Council summit in Manchester.
The topic of the meeting was developments in smart energy systems, but it also gives members of the governments from the British Isles a chance to discuss issues of mutual interest.
Mr Quayle says speaking to peers from other jurisdictions is crucial:
'Divisive' clause five removed from new local authority legislation
Campaigner urges Island to pilot recreational cannabis scheme
Funding model 'constraining' ability to tackle heritage 'critical maintenance backlog'
Ramsey Commissioners appeal for help after fly tipping incident
