The newly appointed chairman of one of Douglas Borough Council's main committees has quashed speculation she will be a candidate in the House of Keys general election in September.
Carol Malarkey was last week confirmed as chairman of the Public Health and Housing Committee.
Her husband Bill has been an MHK for South Douglas since the 2006 election, but Mrs Malarkey says she has no ambitions to follow suit:

'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
