Speaker calls for budget reform
The current budget process makes it impossible for government to progress initiatives without Treasury backing.
That's from the Speaker of the House of Keys, who is asking Tynwald to support his calls to reform the budget process.
The motion calling for plans to be published in advance and allow members to amend expenditure in some areas is currently being debated by the Island's parliament.
Juan Watterson says ministers have struggled to get Treasury support for some projects:

Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
