Debate begins in Tynwald
A Tynwald debate has started into whether gas exploration in Manx waters should be allowed.
The motion has been put forward by Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher.
She's trying to persuade Tynwald that the extraction of hydrocarbon from the Island's territorial waters should not go ahead
