Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly has denied his department ruled out the TT Grandstand as a polling station for next week’s North Douglas by-election.
This morning during House of Key questions, North Douglas MHK John Houghton asked why permission had been refused to use the building for casting votes.
But Mr Skelly said the decision not to use the site had been made by the returning officer, not his department.
And he said there were reasons it was thought unsuitable:
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
Changes have been introduced by EU rather than the IOMPO
Creamery managing director to leave role
Findlay Macleod stepping down after 26 years
