Police budget under the spotlight

Tightening police budgets will be on the agenda today when the Island's chief constable appears before a Tynwald committee.

The Public Accounts Committee will hear evidence from Chief Constable Gary Roberts about the Constabulary's budget.

Committee members Tim Crookall MLC, David Cretney MLC and Onchan MHK Rob Callister will hear the evidence - former Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson SHK and departmental member Michael Coleman MLC won't be sitting.

The evidence will be heard in public in the Legislative Council Chamber in Douglas from 3pm.
