Enterprise minister says other options need to be looked at to support industry as a whole
It's not appropriate for government to provide individual support to those struggling in the hospitality sector, according to the enterprise minister.
Tim Johnston's been responding to warnings earlier this week that the industry is in 'crisis', and a 'call to arms' meeting of business owners yesterday (Thursday 18 April).
There have also been calls for an overhaul of VAT due to pressures with wage increases, recruitment and reduced footfall.
But Mr Johnston says government shouldn't help everyone:
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Surge in first time buyer mortgage applications
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
Mayor of Douglas charity appeal raises £3000 for local charities
Flat fire caused by discarded cigarette
