Former Minister still has 'role to play' says chief

The Chief Minister admits he’s disappointed he’s had to make further changes to his ministerial line-up.

Allan Bell last week moved two ministers around and brought in a new figure in the wake of John Shimmin’s resignation as Economic Development Minister.

He stepped down after a row over the legality of the Sefton Hotel support deal.

Mr Bell admits further change, so soon after the March shake-up, has been disruptive and he hopes ministers will now have time to build on their own ideas and strategies.

He also believes Mr Shimmin has a future role to play in government.
