East Douglas MHK keen to see Manx legislation updated
An MHK says the Island's legislation surrounding fraud needs updating.
East Douglas member Clare Bettison will introduce the Island's first ever Fraud Bill to the House of Keys next week.
There is currently no law specifically covering crimes of that nature in place over here; with financial criminals instead dealt with under the Theft Act 1981.
Miss Bettison the general response to the idea has been positive:
'Divisive' clause five removed from new local authority legislation
New law will improve transparency and update bylaw procedures
Campaigner urges Island to pilot recreational cannabis scheme
Charlotte Caldwell believes there is political support for a new approach to cannabis
Funding model 'constraining' ability to tackle heritage 'critical maintenance backlog'
MNH outlines issues with Treasury support
Ramsey Commissioners appeal for help after fly tipping incident
Any information received 'will be treated with the strictest confidence'
