Outgoing chairman says current regulations limit the board's powers
The Office of Fair Trading should have been able to take action over the recent sale of Shoprite, but its powers are "hopelessly outdated".
That's from the outgoing chair of the board Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh, who's been discussing the challenges he's faced during his time in the role.
Last month it was announced Tesco had bought all nine Shoprite stores on the Island, resulting in concerns from some over the lack of competition in the market.
Mr Wannenburgh says the current legislation also proved a frustration when dealing with concerns over gas billing issues:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
Cabinet Office spent more than £92k on North and West Area Plan inquiry last summer
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Half of Island's public access defibrillators back in use thanks to charity
