MHK Chris Thomas says some clauses have caused concerns
A bill to change how local authorities work is looking to strengthen the terms of mandatory functions which they are required to carry out.
MHK for Douglas Central Chris Thomas says under the potential new terms the way byelaws are made, pensions are regulated and how expenses are managed would be updated.

Mr Thomas says some new clauses from one of his fellow backbenchers has caused concerns.
