MHK continues fight for railway workers

by isleofman.com 11th June 2011

A North Douglas MHK is having another go at trying to delay the redundancies of five railway workers.

Bill Henderson has a motion for next week's House of Keys sitting.

Mr Henderson wants the notice period served on the workers to be extended to give them more re-employment opportunities.

He thinks they should be given any extra training needed and says the scope of redeployment should be extended across Government - something he says happens for civil servants.

Before members consider that matter, there are 22 questions for oral answer, once again more than half of those coming from Onchan MHK Peter Karran.

Subjects covered include the VAT sharing arranging with the UK, PR within Government and the number of patients treated for chlamydia over here.

You can hear Keys Questions broadcast live on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency starting at 10am on Tuesday.
