Chief Minister Alfred Cannan visited London last month to discuss political and economic issues facing the Island.

Mr Cannan met with various politicians, including Mike Freer MP, who is the Justice Minster with responsibility for the UK's relationship with the Crown Dependencies.

Free Trade Agreement negotiations, fisheries and Irish Sea windfarm development were among the subjects discussed.

The Chief Minister says it's essential a network of contacts is built and maintained to reinforce the message that the Isle of Man is an open and transparent jurisdiction.
