No new laws to force supermarkets to carry Manx procduce

The government says it'll continue to encourage supermarkets to stock Manx produce - but there'll be no new laws to force them.

This week, the court debated a petition from the Manx National Farmers' Union asking for legislation to force UK chains to stock food and drink from the Isle of Man.

However, Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Clare Barber amended the motion to have her department encourage all outlets to do so.

The amended motion was backed by Tynwald members in a vote.
