Questioned in Keys
Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says a special tax on large chain retailers raised just over one and a half million pounds last year.
This morning in the House of Keys he faced questions on the issue from West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas.
Mr Thomas wanted to know if he thought the so-called Tesco tax had made a real contribution to the Isle of Man.
Mr Teare said the figures spoke for themselves:

Decision over Peel telegraph poles "should still stand", says minister
Inflation rate unchanged in May
Carers: 'They are often the quiet heroes of our Island'
Hooper: 'Time to bite the bullet and build new hospital'
'No final decisions' made yet about relocating dementia patients says Manx Care
