Scrutiny over £26million fund loss to continue

The Island's Digital Agency and two film makers will give evidence to an inquiry looking into the £26million losses from a government fund.

The Tynwald Public Accounts Committee is looking into the circumstances of the losses from the Media Development Fund and will be taking evidence across two sessions next week.

Arts Council member, Dave Armstrong, and film producer, Alistair Audsley will offer insight for the panel next Monday (December 16) - neither are connected with the fund and have been invited to voluntarily share information and opinion on the TV and film sector.

Digital Agency Chair, Lydia Barbara, and its Chief Executive, Lyle Wraxall, will attend a hearing two days later (December 18).

Both sittings will take place at Legislative Buildings in Douglas - members of the public are welcome to attend.
