The Department for Enterprise has ruled out adding politicians to the list of 'prescribed persons' in whistleblowing cases due to concerns over confidentiality and potential politicisation.

That's despite a majority of respondents to a public consultation supporting Tynwald members being recognised as someone to whom a disclosure can be made.  

Thirty-three percent were opposed.

In this edition of Newscast, Onchan MHK Julie Edge tells Manx Radio's Sian Cowper why she is bringing forward proposals to reverse the department's decision.
