CoMin resuffle won't be finalised until next week

Wed, 04 Jul 2012

Allan Bell wants more time to sort out how he's going to fill the empty seat on the Council of Ministers.

The Chief Minister has confirmed this afternoon that he's not yet finished a review of government positions despite having hoped to make an announcement at the start of the week.

The vacancy became available when Peter Karran was sacked from the Department of Education and Children.

Mr Bell says he's using the opportunity to conduct a wider review of positions across Government including Departmental memberships, and that will take time to finalise.

He hopes to have this concluded by next week.
