Petitioner says government broke a promise eight years ago
Campaigners have petitioned Tynwald asking it to force the government to up its international aid contributions.
On Tynwald Hill yesterday, Louise Whitelegg presented a petition for redress of grievance over the amount of money government donates each year.
She says a promise made eight years ago about Manx contributions has been broken and she’d like the court to force ministers to reconsider the issue.
Louise says her petition is very straightforward:
Douglas Council rules out rent-to-buy scheme
Improvements being made as part of ongoing RDCH work
Postal services to USA still suspended
Heavy rain prompts yellow weather warning from Ronaldsway Met Office
Northern roads could be busier tonight
