Treasury minister gives evidence to public accounts committee
The treasury minister has told the public accounts committee he was never a fan of what potential benefits the Media Development Fund was alleged to be bringing.
At the time the fund was brought in, Alf Cannan was a backbencher.
On Tuesday morning Mr Cannan gave evidence before the committee, which is investigating the 26 million pound losses made by the fund.
He was asked if he was happy that evidence and methodology was currently in place where there was an element of risk involved in an investment:
Rolling delays see Manxman sailings cancelled
Assisted dying bill receiving 'due attention it deserves' in UK
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Payroll firm reprimanded after thousands of personal records discovered in abandoned shredding bins
Finish line in sight for Atlantic rowers
