'Black hole' under the spotlight
Guernsey's economy and the looming black hole in the island's finances are to come under the spotlight.

The Workers Education Association is holding a course ahead of the forthcoming consultation period.

After 2008 the island will have to find more than £45m every year to make up for corporation tax which is going to be scrapped.

People in Guernsey have already been warned that they face cuts in services or higher taxes next year.
