MHK believes Dept has a "vested interest" in avoiding landlord regulation
The Department of Infrastructure has a vested interest in not imposing regulation on itself as a public sector landlord.
That's the view of Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, who wanted the proposed Landlords Registration Bill for private housing to be considered by a committee.
While he failed to gain support for the move, he says the forthcoming laws still need a number of changes.
Mr Hooper believes the DoI doesn't want to face the same scrutiny it's proposing:
Meeting to progress horse tram tracks planned says DoI minister
Huts owner determined to rebuild after storm
Production reflects on lives of two punished Manx womenÂ
Plans for 12 flats in city centre
