MHK queries Post Office profit share

Isle of Man Post Office's profit sharing with Treasury was set to come under scrutiny in the House of Keys yesterday (Tuesday). 

South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft wanted to know when the arrangement was changed from handing over 50 per cent of its profits to a fixed £2 million per annum, who was responsible for that change, and what the rationale for it was. 

The question was for Post Office Chairman Graham Cregeen. 

The arrangement was changed from the 2012/2013 financial year, although the Post Office had been required to hand over money from its reserves  to Treasury twice in the previous three years.

The total paid to Treasury in that time was £8.6 million. 

Mrs Beecroft said the fixed fee was odd, given the Post Office's falling profits.
