Allan Bell welcomes new MHKs Bill Malarkey and Ralph Peake to government
The chief minister has welcomed the outcome of two by elections in Douglas - and says he's confident the new MHKs have much to offer their constituents - and the Island.
Allan Bell says he's looking forward to working with the newly elected Keys member for South Douglas Bill Malarkey, and Ralph Peake who won the North Douglas seat.
While Mr Malarkey has served one term in the House of Keys between 2006 and 2011, Mr Peake is new to politics.
Mr Bell says he has high hopes both new members will make the most of their experience and talents.
