IOM Green Party urges DOI not to allow amendment
Granting a variation to Crogga's licence to drill for oil in Manx waters would go against the will of Tynwald, according to the Isle of Man Green Party.
Crogga has asked to begin drilling before completing a 3D seismic survey.
The Department of Infrastructure says it's continuing to consider the company's request and will issue a response to the political party's latest letter in due course.
Secretary Andrew Langan-Newton has told Manx Radio changes to the licence are so significantly different that it can't be considered a mere variation:
'No objections' to Royal British Legion collecting at TT Grandstand, says DfE
Strong winds cause 'significant damage' at the TT Grandstand
Living wage increases to £13.05
King Scallop season moves into final week
No current plans for replacing TT footbridge from Noble's Park
New accident 'hotspot' signs for TT as police aim for 'fatal free' fortnight
