GOVERNMENT must not retrace its steps, according to Chamber of Commerce president Paul Luxon.

He said the new States had made a positive start to its first three months in office but he was concerned that could all change if members wanted to go back over old ground or if there were attempts to delay projects.

‘We would prefer that some bad decisions were made but that they were speedy ones,’ said Mr Luxon (pictured). He was also concerned about what benefits another debate on student loans would bring and what the new House might decide in relation to the waste solution, which is on the agenda this month.

However, he said that Chamber had confidence in the new House and he was encouraged that some new deputies had already begun to stamp their individual mark. This House has a very good balance of capability and experience. And there also does not appear to be the warfare of the previous House.’
