Plans to build a new ferry terminal in Liverpool are still in their very early stages according to the Island's Infrastructure Minister.

Ray Harmer has faced questions about the development at Princes Dock in Liverpool - the new terminal will replace the current landing stage at the city's Pier Head.

Last July, Tynwald voted to spend £3.5 million to begin work on plans, which could carry an eventual price tag of more than £15 million.

Mr Harmer said there's been little progress in the last year:
