Petitioner says government broke a promise eight years ago
Campaigners have petitioned Tynwald asking it to force the government to up its international aid contributions.
On Tynwald Hill yesterday, Louise Whitelegg presented a petition for redress of grievance over the amount of money government donates each year.
She says a promise made eight years ago about Manx contributions has been broken and she’d like the court to force ministers to reconsider the issue.
Louise says her petition is very straightforward:
More commuter trains to be offered amid bus strikes
Post Office reports stronger profits but warns of major changes
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Teenagers praised for litter-picking efforts
