Island has same rules for drug testing staff as UK

Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston says the legality of searching or drug testing shop staff on the Island is exactly the same as in the UK.

He'd faced a Tynwald question for written reply from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse on the topic.

In his response, Mr Johnston said there's no law against it - and the practices are down to individual company policy.

But he added if someone was unhappy, they could take it up with their employer or the Manx Industrial Relations Service.
