Ashford quizzed in HoK over intellectual property claims
The health minister says he will not be issuing a 'point-by-point rebuttal' over accusations of intellectual property theft.
Dr Rachel Glover, the lead scientist behind the Island's Covid-19 testing lab, made the claims against the Department of Health and Social Care last month.
In retaliation David Ashford said a full response would be published - however then revealed to the Public Accounts Committee that it was no longer his plan.
He told Onchan MHK Julie Edge, who tabled a question in this week's House of Keys sitting asking for the statement, that his points have already been made:
Treasury working with banks to offer appointments to MiCard users
Changes to religious education 'about religious literacy, not promoting any particular religion'
'No conservation advantage' to introducing red squirrels on Island
Manx Youth Orchestra set to return to Villa Marina for Christmas concert
