UK fails to approve cutting Senators

THE UK has stalled plans to cut two Senatorial seats in October, leaving the way open for a last-minute push to reverse the move.

Campaigner Lyndon Farnham has received confirmation from the Privy Council that they did not sign off the cut at their June meeting and instead accepted his petition to delay it.

That means that Deputy Carolyn Labey’s proposal to keep the Senatorial seats for now can be debated by the States. It is scheduled for debate on 5 July. (from JEP)
