Referendum talks being monitored

Talks over an independence referendum in Scotland will be closely monitored in the Isle of Man, says the Chief Minister.

Allan Bell admits he’ll be keeping a watching brief after Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond invited the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister to Scotland to discuss the proposal.

Mr Salmond and Mr Clegg spoke at the start of a British Irish summit in Dublin.

Mr Bell believes dialogue about the issue is constructive.
