Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly has denied his department ruled out the TT Grandstand as a polling station for next week’s North Douglas by-election.
This morning during House of Key questions, North Douglas MHK John Houghton asked why permission had been refused to use the building for casting votes.
But Mr Skelly said the decision not to use the site had been made by the returning officer, not his department.
And he said there were reasons it was thought unsuitable:
Isle of Man inflation eases slightly to 2.8% in October
Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
Progress on autism strategy welcomed
Strategy team's first annual report and Phase 2 Action Plan published
Paper car tax discs cost DOI £7,500 each month
Minister admits infrastructure is not in place to digitise process within this administration
Just over half the vehicles examined were defective
Notices were issued for faulty lights, worn tyres, and a missing wheel nut
