Rushen MHK Juan Watterson has branded claims that he’s trying to delay changes to the Island’s political boundaries as ‘rubbish’.
He’s tabled numerous amendments to the clauses of the Representation of the People Act which is being discussed in the House of Keys today.
The Chief Minister says it’s an attempt to derail the whole policy which, if successfully implemented, would see 12 equal constituencies each with two MHKs.
Allan Bell says delaying things at this stage means the Bill could get referred to a committee and is at risk of not being in place before the next election.
Mr Watterson says that isn’t the case:
Society appeals for help about traditional gypsy caravans on the Island
Government issues bird flu warning after infected buzzard found
Will new UK law be brought in to protect Manx renters from mould?
Local Economy Forum launched to propose alternative to 'destructive' min wage increase
Group raising money towards legal costs for new Summerland inquest
Police appeal after Manx stone wall damaged
MHK wants to see all private healthcare reports
Let’s make Hop Tu Naa a boo-tiful night for all, say police
