Alfred Cannan has thanked her for her contribution over the last 15 months
Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood MHK has stepped down from her role with immediate effect.
It follows a cabinet reshuffle this morning as the chief minister redefines his government’s approach to priorities within the remaining term of this administration.
Alfred Cannan has thanked Dr Haywood for her contribution to Government over the last 15 months.
He says "over recent months it has been clear that there have been a number of policy matters which have caused considerable friction between the Government, Tynwald and elements of our society.
"It is my opinion that these matters need to be addressed and can no longer be left to resolve themselves through protracted political arguments.
"I would like to thank Dr Haywood for her work across what is a complex and large Department over the last year and wish her well for the future."
"It helped save my life"
