New work permit rules for people from countries outside the European Economic Area are designed to strengthen the Isle of Man's control of employment regulations.
So says political member of the Department of Economic Development Geoff Corkish, MHK, after they were announced last week.
A points system will be used to decide whether immigrants from outside Europe will be allowed to work in the Island.
Mr Corkish says the Island's Overseas Labour Scheme needed replacing:
Man to stand trial after denying wounding with intent to murder
20-year-old is currently remanded at the Isle of Man Prison
'Meaningful change' needed to ensure long-term future of sidecars at TT
"No decision regarding the future participation of the Sidecar class will be taken until further work has been completed"
