Political commentator damns Island's transparency

Freedom of information request denied

The Isle of Man is demonstrating a severe lack of transparency according to an independent political commentator.

It comes from former States of Guernsey member Anthony Webber, as the Island, Jersey and Guernsey, come under the spotlight.

A freedom of information request has sought the release of communications between the Crown Dependencies and the UK's Home Office - but this hasn't happened.

And Mr Webber says all three Crown Dependencies have denied any knowledge of receiving this request.
