Public support is growing for a public inquiry into the operations of the House of Assembly.
At vocm.com the Question of the Day results show 75% of respondents favouring a public inquiry with only 18% opposed. It isn't scientific but it does indicate there is a public mood in favour of a more far-reaching inquiry than the Williams administration has suggested lately.
