Food festival cancellation didn't cost money

Cancelling the Island's largest food and drink festival didn't cost the government anything except some time.

So says Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Clare Barber, who faced a written question from Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh.

She said the only cost was some staff time - the department hadn't paid for anything and so wouldn't be out of pocket.

Mrs Barber added the department is pursuing other opportunities.
