Karran attacks public defender proposal
Former Onchan MHK Peter Karran has branded the idea of a so-called Public Defender Unit as state control of the justice system.
The proposal is one of the recommedations of the Securing Added Value and Efficiencies - or SAVE - programme, which reported its findings earlier this year.
It would see a permanent board of advocates employed directly by the Manx government, replacing the current legal aid system.
Mr Karran says there are plenty of examples around the world to show the plan is a non-starter:
Increase in disruption to Island's connectivity 'disgusting', says flight passenger
MHK welcomes support for adding more companies to FoI act
Manx Care asks visitors to wear face masks
Successful project to remove invasive rodents from the Calf of Man
