Treasury Minister Alex Allinson says the government is considering tighter restrictions on immigration.
In the House of Keys he faced a question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about the issue.
Dr Allinson said officials are currently looking at the system of bringing workers to the Isle of Man.

New laws to regulate gas suppliers to be debated
MHK wants update on solar panels for public buildings
Council to cut down 39 dangerous trees
