Policy and Reform Minister defends approach in Keys
The Policy and Reform Minister has dismissed suggestions made by one MHK that the Island is 'muddling through' on new data protection legislation.
Speaking in the House of Keys this morning (6 Feb) Ramsey member Lawrie Hooper questioned Chris Thomas over the handling and management of data.
It came before consideration of the Data Protection Bill, which passed unanimously on both its first and second reading after being fastracked by Mr Thomas.
The Policy and Reform Minister said government's approach involved paying close attention to developments off-Island:
Vote on Castle Rushen High School funding 'very unlikely' before election
Ramsey Commissioners to host public meeting about cottage hospital
DfE provided more than £250,000 to MT to assist with below ground fibre installations
Man given suspended sentence after importing 2kg of cannabis to Island
