Committee to hear about Sefton bailout

More details about the bailout of the Sefton Group are expected to emerge today.

Chief Minister Allan Bell will give evidence to the Economic Policy Review Committee about the controversial deal.

He’ll be joined by Treasury Minister Eddie Teare and Economic Development Minister John Shimmin.

Government announced in April that it was loaning the group £1.3 million of public money and doing a land deal worth £3.2 million.

The committee will meet at 2.30pm in the Legislative Buildings. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
