The Positive Action Group says it’s dismayed by what appears to be more delays to a long-awaited Freedom of Information Act.
This week in a written answer to a Tynwald question, Chief Minister Allan Bell revealed the new law probably won’t be introduced this year because policy issues still need to be discussed.
That’s drawn the ire of PAG’s Roger Tomlinson, who says it seems to break Allan Bell’s pledge to bring the legislation forward.
He says the law has seen one delay after another:
Politicians back plan for DoI to bring funding request for finishing horse tram track
Department must return to court in July
Judgment deferred in appeal against rejection of bid to overturn Summerland inquest verdict
Deemster's ruling on campaigners' case delayed until July
