PAG Charter: MHK View

Questionnaires were sent out to all 55 candidates in early November.

The questions referred to the items in the PAG charter.

Of the 24 duly elected MHKs, 6 did not reply to us, despite a reminder: Henderson, Corkish, Cregeen, Karran, Crookall, and Bell.

Most correspondents chose to comment on their answers and 5 submitted full written replies rather than just complete the questionnaire. Anderson referred to his manifesto. We thank all 44 candidates that took the trouble to respond.

The following summary shows fairly significant support for all bar one item: and on that item - fewer ministers - almost half of correspondents were undecided.

These are heartening results for PAG.
