SNP conference visit "invaluable" says chief minister

Allan Bell says strong relationship with Scottish National Party is vital

Chief Minister Allan Bell says meeting senior figures in Scotland has been invaluable as the political landscape shifts there.

Mr Bell led a delegation from the Isle of Man to the Scottish National Party’s annual conference at the end of last week.

The visit comes after similar trips to the Labour and Conservative conferences.

Mr Bell says building relationships between the Isle of Man and Scotland’s most powerful political party is vital.
