Bill Shimmins wanted issue to be looked at further
An MHK claims a Council of Ministers block vote stopped Tynwald establishing a Select Committee to look into the pros and cons of taking in Syrian refugees on the Isle of Man.
11 members of the House of Keys voted against Daphne Caine's motion, with 10 in favour.
Middle MHK Bill Shimmins was one of those backing the plans.
He says it's a shame Tynwald won't be looking into the matter further:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Yellow weather warning is now in force
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
Resident's proposal to convert shelter into storage approved
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Support your child's dreams say biker mums
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
Officers confirm 'all enquiries relating to the area are now complete'
What do you think of pharmacy services on Island?
Survey opens into provision to develop future development
