Minister Phil Gawne
It looks as though it's full steam ahead for this year's special Santa Train which transports shoeboxes to children in poverty.
That's despite fears that The Samaritan's Purse - the charity which runs Operation Christmas Child - is pushing its beliefs onto recipients by packing religious literature into the care packages.
The Department of Infrastructure has confirmed it's brought in a new policy to ensure it only helps charities which don't offend the "principles or aspirations" of people on the Island.
Quizzed on the issue in the House of Keys yesterday Minister Phil Gawne said he's happy to continue the support for the venture at this time:
Otter at Curraghs Wildlife Park dies
Woman and baby treated for smoke inhalation following fire
New mental health charity launched
Manx Lottery Trust helps to secure future of Island Landmark
Gran Fondo gets into gear for tomorrow
Fly-tipping in PSM not 'tolerated' by commissioners
MHKs hold Crosby surgery today
Local technology team 'braves the shave'
