Committee seeks evidence on controversial Bill

Fri, 28 Jan 2011

A Committee examining a controversial Government Bill is asking the public to submit its evidence.

The Committee on the Criminal Justice Bill was set up after a number of concerns were raised in the House of Keys.

Rushen MHK Quintin Gill was particularly worried by a clause stating groups of youths could be dispersed, even if they aren't doing anything wrong, nicknaming it the Childcatcher Bill.

Written submissions on any part of the Bill should be received by the House of Keys by February 25th
