Scrutineer given second government position
Taking on a second departmental role within government won't compromise the scrutiny work of an MLC.
That's from Marlene Maska, who's accepted a position with the Department of Infrastructure.
The move is at odds with a Tynwald debate in late 2017, where it was agreed that members of Legislative Council should not take on more than one role within government.
Mrs Maska says it isn't a decision she's taken lightly:
Calls for 'urgent review' of Island's wildlife legislation
Manx Nature Alliance says government progress has been 'very slow'
Onchan's first candidate declares intention to stand in election
Commissioner Gabriella Corkish says her decision has not been taken lightly
Douglas Central residents 'happy' ahead of General Election
Constituents share their views ahead of September's vote
No plans to introduce tourism tax yet says minister
Idea will be for future administration to consider says Johnston
