IoM's EU migrants reassured by Chief Minister

Around 3,500 residents from the Union to be prioritised

Brexit shouldn't stop European workers migrating to the Isle of Man - according to the Chief Minister.

Allan Bell says he will prioritise the position of around 3,500 Manx residents from the EU once the Island's Protocol 3 agreement collapses.  

It's after a number of people expressed concerns about their future once Article 50 is triggered by UK Prime Minister Theresa May later this year.

At present, EU nationals can move and take up employment here if they secure a work permit.

Allan Bell says he recognises their fear, and will combat any issues as they arise.
