Le Main: I was not involved in any planning corruption’

By Lucy Mason


FORMER Housing Minister Terry Le Main has categorically denied any involvement in alleged planning corruption, describing the accusation against him as ‘absolutely scandalous’.

Following claims made by Deputy Carolyn Labey in the Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday that he was involved in ‘grand scale planning corruption’, the Senator has put his lawyer on standby.

And he said that if the Deputy, who he believes has had a ‘thing’ against him for a long time, repeated those accusations outside court he would sue her.

The claims were made during a hearing instigated by Deputy Labey’s former partner Stuart Syvret concerning his criminal prosecution.
