Le Sueur backs Hilton for Housing

Senator Alan Breckon and Deputies Jackie Hilton and Sean Power are in the running to take over from Senator Terry Le Main, who resigned last week over links to a developer he tried to get cleared of breaking the Housing Law.

Deputy Hilton will be nominated by Chief Minister Terry Le Sueur in the States tomorrow morning, after initially saying that she supported Senator Breckon for the role.

But sources say that it is not going to be a good week for the Housing and Treasury departments, because a highly critical report about the way in which properties have been sold by the States over the last few years is due for release.
