Liberal Vannin reacts strongly to 'anti business' claims

Tuesday, 2 December 2014 00:00

The Liberal Vannin Party has reacted to claims that it is 'anti business'.

Treasury Minister Eddie Teare levelled the accusation at leader Kate Beecroft during last week's House of Keys sitting.

It came following extensive questioning by Mrs Beecroft on the Pinewood deal and associated issues.

In a statement Liberal Vannin says his accusation could not be more wrong.

Member Lawrie Hooper told us he thinks the Treasury Minister's comments were made in his own defence:
