Figures show money spent over last five years
More than £123,000 has been spent on providing media and public speaking advice to government ministers in the last five years.
The figure was released in response to a Tynwald question tabled by Rushen MHK Juan Watterson.
Almost £79,000 was paid out in the 2018/2019 financial year - the highest amount in the five year period.
No money has been spent so far this year and nothing has been spent on external speech writing.
