Minister's decisions queried
Chief Minister Allan Bell says he’s made 12 ministerial decisions in the Cabinet Office this year – while Policy and Reform Minister John Shimmin hasn’t made any.
He gave the information in response to a question for written answer in the House of Keys this week, when South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft asked for details.
Mr Bell, who’s also Minister of the Cabinet Office as well as chief minister, said since the start of this year he’d made 12 ministerial decisions.
He added the decisions affected both the office’s statutory and non-statutory functions as well as operational decisions.
