Economic Development Minister John Shimmin is promising to slash through red tape which restricts small businesses.
His department has published a number of statements of intent – pledges which will guide its priorities in coming years.
One area already highlighted is that of government bureaucracy, which Mr Shimmin says needs simplifying and speeding up.
He says there are particular systems he’s going to target:

Voters go to the polls for Manx General Election
Upgraded CCTV for Ramsey to be funded by criminal cash
Public counters closed due to staff shortages
Church service wants people to think more about impact of disabilities
