Call for democratic deficit to be addressed
No date has been set for the Douglas South by-election which was due to take place in March before being put on hold under lockdown.
It's understood the Cabinet Office is working on a proposed timetable, but an announcement won't be made until the Lieutenant Governor triggers the process.
There's been a democratic deficit in the constituency, with only Kate Costain representing the two-seat constituency since the passing of Bill Malarkey in February.
A fellow Douglas MHK, Chris Thomas, says it's high time the contest was called:
'Bleak future' for Manx businesses if people don't shop local
Declining amount of food production 'quite frightening'
Charity continuing to provide support to family of murdered teenager
'Significant progress' on Manxman repairs over the last week
