Concerns that jobs will be lost if the Isle of Man Post Office is corporatised are "nonsense".
That's according to the Chief Minister who says the plan will actually allow it to get "back on track" after its income dwindled:
Tynwald will be asked to vote on the plan - it's a decision that's already proved controversial with former chairman Graham Cregeen being sacked for disagreeing with the idea as a way forward.
Allan Bell says it will give the office the opportunity to operate in a more commercial way and anything to suggest otherwise is "scaremongering":
