Allan Bell says they would find it hard to adapt to Island life
The chief minister has defended the Island's stance on helping Syrian refugees.
In Tynwald this morning, Allan Bell was asked by Bishop Robert Paterson whether an agreement was in place with the UK for families to be resettled over here.
Mr Bell says with no cultural or linguistic link it may be difficult for the refugees to integrate and adapt to Island life.
He said an ill-thought out system could be disastrous:
Peel commissioner claims transparency concerns being "shut down"
Katryna Baptist claims decisions "missing" from official records alongside communication and conflict concerns
Fire fighters respond to numerous issues across the Island
Safety advice is now being issued to residents
MNFU calls for stronger legislation to protect livestock
Farmers continuing to face threat of dog attacks
Youth committee keen to see fewer young people leaving the Island
Panel recently gained support for its report on access to housing
