Cannan content with additional four months
Extending the time a Manx company has to search the Island's territorial waters for oil and gas will allow government to make a 'balanced' decision.

Crogga has been given an additional four months to complete a seismic survey and acquire other geophysical data.
The company had requested 18 months.
Alfred Cannan says the extension will also allow government to consider its wider policy on offshore energy production:
