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.
That's the view of the chief minister.
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:
Warmer than average May for Island
Increased DfE support 'to tackle rising costs and global pressures'
Police appeal after two motorcycles involved in collision
Childcare Credit payments to increase
