Call for democratic deficit to be addressed
No date has been set for the Douglas South by-election which was due to take place in March before being put on hold under lockdown.
It's understood the Cabinet Office is working on a proposed timetable, but an announcement won't be made until the Lieutenant Governor triggers the process.
There's been a democratic deficit in the constituency, with only Kate Costain representing the two-seat constituency since the passing of Bill Malarkey in February.
A fellow Douglas MHK, Chris Thomas, says it's high time the contest was called:
Creamery managing director to leave role
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Farmers 'feeling the squeeze' more than ever says MNFU
Too soon to say if Finnish TT rider will have permanent vision problems
