mona Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I was shocked to see this headline. John Houghton MHK immediately stood up to reply to this question but President of Tynwald Noel Cringle ignored him. Mr Houghton persisted until he had to call for a point of order. "Yes" said The President curtly. But mr Houghton was not allowed to make any reply in the House because the Attornery General had made a "Personal Statement". Could some of the more knowledgeable people on this forum enlighten me on this matter because personally I think it smells rather off. Mind you, it was you lot that elected the Attorney General. You gets what you gets type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonto Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 The attorney general is not elected - the position is a crown appointment. I think you will find most of the statement in this weeks Examiner, if this is the 'bombshell' to which Mona is referring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
