HC Deb 28 March 1994 vol 240 cc571-2W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he last met Ministers of the Isle of Man to discuss transport links, promotion of the common Celtic heritage and other matters of mutual interest.

Sir John Wheeler

Ministers from the Isle of Man had a meeting with Lord Arran on 14 October 1992. Those present were the Finance Minister, Minister of Health and Social Security and junior Health Minister all of whom were in Northern Ireland to discuss and seek advice on acute hospital planning.

The meeting also touched on opportunities for co-operation on a range of health service matters.

There has to date been no necessity for Ministers from both Governments to meet to discuss transport links or the promotion of the common Celtic heritage.
