MHK believes Dept has a "vested interest" in avoiding landlord regulation
The Department of Infrastructure has a vested interest in not imposing regulation on itself as a public sector landlord.
That's the view of Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, who wanted the proposed Landlords Registration Bill for private housing to be considered by a committee.
While he failed to gain support for the move, he says the forthcoming laws still need a number of changes.
Mr Hooper believes the DoI doesn't want to face the same scrutiny it's proposing:
Peel RNLI assists with medical emergency aboard fishing vessel
Plans submitted for 'significant' flood defences in Ramsey
Tributes paid to cancer awareness campaigner
Police bail for two people arrested in Ramsey incident
WCAS to extend opening hours next month
