MHK rebuts criticism from ministers
The leader of the LibVann party has hit back after being accused by senior ministers of being “anti-business”.
Chief Minister allan Bell made the comments after the party’s two MHKs voted against the government’s £50 million Enterprise Development fund.
But party leader Kate Beecroft MHK – who runs a small business – rejected the criticism, saying her party opposed the scheme because it was set up badly.
She says she can’t understand the chief minister’s comments:
