One could not have the education minister offering public land, while the environment minister joined protests against the use of such land, the Nationalist Party said.

Watch: Environment Minister joins Pembroke residents' protest

Chiswick House School is planning to build a new school on a virgin site offered to it by the government in Pembroke. But residents held a public protest against the plans yesterday, and were joined by Environment Minister Jose' Herrera.

The government should not take the residents of Pembroke for a ride, the PN said.

It insisted the residents should be consulted.
