The Economic Committee, a Standing Committee of Tynwald, will enquire into the Government support for the Sefton Group. It has written to the Government asking for initial written evidence and will seek further written and oral evidence from others in the near future.

Leonard Singer MHK, Chairman of the Committee, said:

"The Chief Minister wrote to the Committee asking it to enquire into this matter in the light of the significant public interest in the decision by the Government to support the Sefton Group. We have written to the Government asking for them to explain the decision and, in the light of their evidence, we will be making further enquiries and collecting written and oral evidence. We will welcome evidence from the public in due course."
