Keys candidate keen to protect local producers

Boot believes Brexit could provide boost to Island farmers

A candidate in next month's general election believes Brexit could provide exciting opportunities for the Island's farmers.

Geoffrey Boot is seeking re-election to the House of Keys in the new constituency of Glenfaba and Peel.

He says supermarket giant Tesco currently sells no Manx meat in its Douglas store.

If elected, Mr Boot says he'd make protecting local producers a priority.
