Chief Minister Alf Cannan says the government wouldn't welcome a new nuclear waste dump near Sellafield - but isn't part of the decision-making process.
He was asked about the proposals by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse in Tynwald this week.
Mr Cannan said the government had been informed of the plans, but added they were a matter for the UK government.
But he said the Island's views would be relayed to Westminster:
How much has been spent on carbon literacy training?
Gov made no assessment before apprentice scheme changes
Government strategy to promote local food under spotlight
Local man to run famous marathon for Children's Centre
Are there supply issues at the meat plant?
What's the target patient to GP ratio?
Plans for new high school to be discussed
