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:

Almost 3,000 take part in Pilates world record attempt at Knockaloe
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
