Isle Of Man travel watchdog wants transparency in Office of Fair Trading

TravelWatch say it's surprised and disappointed at the decision of the Isle Of Man Office of Fair Trading, after over two years work, not to complete and publish a report into prices charged by the Steam Packet Company for its passenger and freight services.

TravelWatch submitted evidence to the OFT in September 2009 highlighting a number of their concerns and say they had hoped that the OFT investigation would shed more light on these concerns.
