Committee structure under scrutiny

Manx political committee structure under scrutiny

The Island’s political committee structure will be scrutinised today.

A Tynwald committee is assessing the effectiveness or otherwise of a range of bodies formed with Tynwald approval.

This morning it will hear evidence from the chairman and vice chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Alfred Cannan and Geoff Corkish; Dudley Butt and Michael Coleman - chairmen past and present of the Economic Policy Review Committee – and Roger Tomlinson from the Positive Action Group.

The hearing, in the Legislative Council Chamber, starts at ten thirty this morning.
