A bid to persuade Manx Radio to re-introduce the weekday Mannin Line in the build-up to November’s general election has been defeated in Tynwald.
Michael MHK David Cannan wanted the Court to request such a move to encourage added debate.
However, the motion was defeated by 14 votes to six in the House of Keys and seven votes to one in the Legislative Council.
James Davis reports (audio file attached):
An amendment by Rushen member Phil Gawne, for Tynwald to recognise the valuable role Manx Radio plays in enabling public opinion to be freely expressed, was also defeated.
