| MGP Fate Under Scrutiny
|
The fate of the Manx Grand Prix is set to dominate
Tynwald question time.
Onchan MHK and race commentator Geoff Cannell will ask
Chief Minister Donald Gelling when he expects to
decide whether the races in August will go ahead.
The TT races were cancelled amidst fears visiting fans
would bring foot-and-mouth disease to the Island. The
MGP could be scrapped too.
Mr Cannell will also quiz Tourism and Leisure Minister
David Cretney over an attack on Agriculture, Fisheries
and Forestry Minister Alex Downie by hotel boss Chris
Robertshaw.
The Sefton Hotel chief is a member of the DTL's
marketing partnership. He led the lobby for the TT to
go ahead.
Douglas East MHK Brenda Cannell will ask Treasury
Minister Richard Corkill what more help will be handed
out to the tourist trade if the MGP is called off.
