A last-minute email from convicted vote-rigger Charles Buster Lewin about Heritage Homes’ landswap deal with the Department of Education means a select committee will have to delay its final report.
Yesterday, Tynwald spent two hours debating whether the committee should go back to consider the message before eventually voting to prolong the inquiry a little longer.
Lewin – due to be sentenced tomorrow after admitting election fraud offences during the Douglas East by-election on 2010 – claimed his former employer had deliberately misled the committee.
Michael MHK Alf Cannan said the claims needed to be investigated no matter who’d made them:
Plans for 'all-age pathway' for adult autism and ADHD diagnosis by 2029
Some trailers got 'lost' during recent backlog of freight at Heysham
Police told to reassess FOI response
Census support available from next week
Mobile classroom needed to 'alleviate' pressure at Henry Bloom Primary School
