'Friend' of Island embroiled in harassment scandal

Mark Garnier faces investigation

The man who promised the Island a seat at the Brexit negotiating table has been embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal.

According to reports in the UK press, Conservative MP Mark Garnier made derogatory comments to his former secretary Caroline Edmonson and sent her to buy sex toys.

He'll now face investigation by the UK cabinet office.

Now Minister of the Department for International Trade, Mr Garnier had told the Chief Minister Howard Quayle the Island's industries would be listened to during Brexit.

They met in London earlier this year for a meeting between the Crown Dependencies and the UK Department for Exiting the European Union.
