Chief Minister Alf Cannan says people may not be able to get everything they want, but food security is good on the Island.
This week in the House of Keys he faced questions from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about food supplies on the Island.
Mr Moorhouse asked if government tracked whether common foodstuffs were available in shops across the Island.
In reply, Mr Cannan said there was no need to:
