Houghton to question DEFA boss in Tynwald
North Douglas MHK John Houghton believes butchers could be driven out of business - if a claim the Meat Plant will start trading as a retailer is true.
He'll ask Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Richard Ronan about the issue in Tynwald tomorrow (TUESDAY).
Mr Houghton was told by a local butcher that the Meat Plant would start selling meat thus competing with other retailers it supplies.
And he says that would do significant damage to the industry:
Revised plans for Lord Street bus station development
Consultation for new National Infrastructure Safety Bill
Steam Packet cancels Friday evening sailings
"Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital is not at risk of closure"
