Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne remains confident he can end the wrangling over an all-Island taxi service by September.
Yesterday (Tuesday) in Tynwald he withdrew an item which would have seen members vote on the issue, following protests from taxi drivers and approaches by other politicians.
Mr Gawne says the withdrawal is only temporary to allow more talks to take place between his department and the taxi trade, and he still thinks changes to the system can be made before the House of Keys general election:

Amendments to Assisted Dying Bill approved by Tynwald
Indoor play business makes 'very difficult decision' to close
No routine GP appointments Wednesday afternoon
Last chance to submit nominations for local authority by-elections
Rapid review into hospital provides 'clear direction' but there is 'no single solution', says minister
