May's Brexit plan speaks for Island says CM

Split from EU rules on services could hit financial sector

The Chief Minister believes Theresa May's plan for Brexit speaks for the interests of the Isle of Man.

Howard Quayle has been meeting with senior figures at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham this week.

The Prime Minister is this morning (Wed) expected to hit back at Boris Johnson's criticism of her Chequers plan - which he labelled a 'constitutional outrage'.

The proposal would subscribe British farmers and manufacturers to a 'common rulebook' and effectively preserve its place in the customs union.

But a split away from EU rules on services could hit Manx financial institutions.

Mr Quayle says the deal would be satisfactory overall - should all parties reach an agreement.
