MP meets chief minister over fishing visa rule change

An MP from Northern Ireland has met Chief Minister Alf Cannan to discuss what he's called a Manx ban on his country's fishing vessels.

DUP Leader Gavin Robinson met Mr Cannan in Westminster to raise his concerns over new rules that mean vessels' crews now need an Isle of Man visa - which are only available to Island businesses.

After the meeting, Mr Robinson said long-established fishing vessels are being shut out of Isle of Man waters because of the new rules.

He says he's asked Mr Cannan to give the issue immediate attention.
