Freedom of Information in the spotlight

Monday, 30 September 2013 00:00

Introducing Freedom of Information legislation on the Island would help make government more transparent.

That’s the view of the Positive Action Group which is hosting a meeting on the subject tonight.

Guest speaker, and BBC producer, Martin Rosenbaum will discuss "What the Isle of Man is missing" – after the UK introduced the act in 2005.

The talk will take place at the Manx Legion Club in Douglas at 7.30pm.

PAG spokesman Roger Tomlinson says it’s good to hear the opinions of others:
