But Sark senior administrator Kath Jones has responded by saying that every year detailed accounts of the company's activities are published in line with a memorandum of understanding between IOSS and Chief Pleas and that this year the publication is expected before Easter.

The inquiry request in a letter to conseillers from Sark Action for Families and Employment (Safe) follows Chief Pleas approval of a £200,000 loan to the company to resolve cashflow issues.

Safe has asked politicians to examine the company's staffing costs, overheads and a 'seeming reluctance' to consider a shipping route to France.
