Plans to relocate the Island's two crown post offices in Ramsey and Douglas have been put on hold for three months.
An emergency motion was put forward in the House of Keys this morning by Liberal Vannin leader Kate Beecroft who wanted a deferral so that the decision can be re-examined in its entirety.
Chairman of the Post Office Graham Cregeen submitted an amendment to this - which kept the same time scale, but greatly narrowed the focus.
His amendment carried receiving 19 votes - in the preceding debate MHKs had their say on the matter:
Liverpool victory celebrations day trip sells out
500 new British citizens in five years
Chief Minister 'should withdraw' remarks about Ramsey MHK
Drug dealer can't appeal to Privy Council over £65k repayment order
