MHK calls for more bite
South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft says the Island needs stronger regulators with real powers.
Yesterday on Manx Radio’s Present Politics programme, she said in areas like health and energy prices there’s no way to force improvement despite already having regulatory bodies.
She likened the situation to Tynwald’s Public Accounts Committee, which can hold investigations into matters of concern.
Mrs Beecroft said even the PAC was essentially toothless:
