In Tynwald today, Treasury Minister Allan Bell was asked questions on the subject by North Douglas MHK John Houghton.

DoI working on Island wide review of disc parking
Consultation will follow
New catering operator sought for northern hospitality business
Issues with former operator's 'legal right to work' leads to change
£1.2m allocated for new Border Division on Island
Aiming to help strengthen border security
Government monitoring proposed business rate cuts announced in England
Policy to support licensed trade announced by UK PM last week
