Transport body to appear before committee

The body that licences and regulates public transport on the Island will be under the spotlight next month, when a Tynwald committee hears evidence about its independence.

The Environment and Infrastructure Policy Review Committee is looking into decisions made by the Road Transport Licensing Committee - especially with regards to Bus Vannin.

The committee will hear evidence from four witnesses, including Barry Murphy of the Manx Taxi Federation.

It will sit in public in the Legislative Council Chamber of Legislative Buildings in Douglas on Wednesday, May 15 from noon.
