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:
Ramsey Remembrance service to be marked by maroon rockets
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
