The Economic Development Minister has offered to resign – after it emerged the controversial Sefton bailout deal was unlawful.
In this morning’s sitting of Tynwald John Shimmin told the court government had received legal advice last night showing it had got it wrong.
Last year it loaned The Sefton Group £1.3 million of public money and entered a landswap deal worth £3.2 million.
His resignation has not been accepted by Allan Bell - however Michael MHK Alf Cannan has called for an emergency debate on the issue this afternoon.
John Shimmin told the court he got it wrong:
Condition updates on three riders after Friday crashes
£10k raised by popular charity walk
Further two-hour delay to planned racing
Mountain closed because of pressure on emergency services
Douglas-based Taxi firm stops operating
Questions raised over government tender for hygiene inspections
