Isle of Man Post Office wishes to clarify comments made on Sunday's Manx Radio Present Politics programme by Captain Nigel Malpass, Chairman of Ramsey Town Commissioners concerning restrictions the Post Office are alleged to have placed on staff working for them at Ramsey Post Office.
Isle of Man Post Office has a general business policy, in addition to the Official Secrets Act, that employees are prohibited from corresponding with newspapers, radio or any media source regarding any Isle of Man Post Office matters without prior consent. This is common practice in many businesses.
The question was raised at the public meeting in Ramsey last Wednesday that suggested the Post Office had forbidden staff to speak at the meeting. This is completely untrue and was made clear at the public meeting by the Chairman and Chief Executive. In circumstances such as this, any request from affected staff members to talk to the media would not be reasonably refused.
