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:
Reservoir levels down, but water stocks relatively healthy
Advertising board proposed for airport
Isle of Man reviewing self-testing cervical screening kits
Former treasury minister warns against 'emotional' triple lock decision
