Three members join new roles as one steps down from Department for Enterprise
The Council of Ministers has agreed a series of changes to the political memberships of government departments.
Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh joins the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
Meanwhile, Middle MHK Stu Peters and MLC Kirstie Morphet are to become members of the Department of Infrastructure.
In a statement, Chief Minister Alfred Cannan says: "Serving in departments and boards is a way for members to make a valuable contribution to the Island community."
Separately, MLC Tanya August-Philips is stepping down from her position as a member of the Department for Enterprise.
She says: "At this time, DEFA’s legislative programme, and other matters in that department require attention. However, I do look forward to continuing to support DfE’s legislative programme until purdah [when the House of Keys is dissolved]".
