MHK to query post-lockdown challenges for businesses

Challenges facing businesses following the end of the latest Island lockdown will be brought up an MHK this week.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew representative, Jason Moorhouse MHK, will quiz Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly MHK, on the subject when the House of Keys carries out its next sitting on Tuesday morning.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know what new support programme the minister has considered for businesses that qualified for financial support during the lockdown, but which now are struggling to survive.

He'll also ask Mr Skelly what dialogue the DfE is having with local businesses in order to assess their challenges following the end of the most recent circuit-break.
