Claims there could be practical considerations
The government has promised a review into the sale of Manx produced food and drink at its outlets.
The move comes after criticism that locally-brewed beers are not served at the Villa Marina - a government-funded venue.
The matter has been raised in the House of Keys this week, during a debate on the value to the Manx economy of spending with local suppliers.
Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly says he wants to see Manx ales stocked at the Villa - although there may be a reason why they haven't been until now:
'Very high' flu levels have presented operational challenges for Manx Care
Discussions remain 'ongoing' over easyJet flight offerings
CoMin rejects Steam Packet Statutory Board proposal
Population growth 'slower than needed' to support Manx businesses
