MLCs sit for penultimate sitting before summer recess
Members of the Legislative Council have been considering a bill which looks at local authority members' conflicts of interest.
The Local Government (Amendment) Bill 2023 seeks to improve the operations of the Island's commissioners.
It's now passed the Principles Stage.
An amendment was moved by recently-elected MLC Kirstie Morphet which will see the bill moved next to an evidence phase, primarily as a result of lobbying from local authorities related to a new clause (Clause 5) introduced in the House of Keys.
Phil Gawne has been speaking with MLC and Department of Infrastructure member Dawn Kinnish:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
'Really special', says charity as historic furniture returns to Island
Government 'supporting' Strix after announcement of Ramsey factory closure
