DEFA member Martyn Perkins praises local producers
The Covid-19 crisis has focussed people's attention on buying local and the Island becoming more self-sustainable.
That's from MHK Martyn Perkins, politicial member for the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
He was speaking at this year's Food and Drink Festival showcasing a variety of local produce.
Mr Perkins says it demonstrates all the Island has to offer:
500% increase in immigration arrests on the Isle of Man
Due to targeted activity rather than increased criminality
More taxpayers' cash could be spent on 'cleaner heating'
