Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly says he's planning to ease up the Island's work permit system to make it easier for people to work here.
In the House of Keys, he was quizzed by Middle MHK Bill Shimmin about plans to overcome skill shortages by relaxing the rules.
Mr Skelly said he's considering exempting the financial and professional services industries from work permit regulations.
He added further changes would make it easier for unmarried couples from off the Island to find work here:
Repairs on Peel Power Station to get underway
Manx Care doctor survey to be discussed by Tynwald
Weather warning for snow tonight
MHK queries safety at primary school in Ballabeg
Gales put two ferry sailings at risk tonight
Should the Island throw a birthday party for Barry Gibb?
Warning issued over icy roads
High ground could see 4 inches of snow on Saturday night
