If he owns a large business/ businesses then what do you expect? Drive around in a crap heap to keep the Manx crabs happy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will know that they usually publish the results though - he's put in enough over the years. In fact the main problem is that sometimes politically sensitive stuff doesn't get publicly displayed (you see this particularly when they lose appeals) and the recipient has to do so themself. I pointed out back in January that the Information Commissioner's decision making them release the details of the payments Quayle received also implied that all other grants should be published as well. So this was inevitable and even the UK Government (not known for being adverse to helping out the 'right' people) has regularly published details of all their support. There is something of an irony that someone seeking freedom of information is carping because they were not made privy to that information before the public. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quilp Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 So Quayle, Baker and Skally broke the ministerial code by not excusing themselves from ministers' meetings where business support schemes were being discussed despite declaring conflicts based on their private business interests. Skally even chaired a meeting despite previously declaring his interests. At one meeting, then Home Affairs minister Cregeen advised that his relations "might also benefit from self-employed business support" yet remained in the room while matters were discussed. Well, one rule for us, an'that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one rule for us, an'that. From what I've heard, Skelly has a track record in recent years for breaching ministerial code and getting away with it. But hey-ho. Make him Chief wig wearer instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
