Speaker criticises Chief Minister over COVID-19 announcements

The speaker of the House of Keys says he's 'disappointed' in the government's decisions.

Juan Watterson took to social media yesterday following the Chief Minister's announcement on relaxing lockdown restrictions.

Mr Watterson wrote he was "Very disappointed"  Goverment announced easing lockdown restrictions on Friday to the press rather than facing Tynwald scrutiny until after it takes effect.

He questioned why it wasn't in the Chief Minister's statement to Tynwald earlier that day.

Lastly, he added these sort of actions make Council of Ministers look like they have contempt for Tynwald.

It comes after Mr Quayle confirmed people will be able to make non-essential journeys from this Friday.
