Treasury Minister responds to ex-minister's claims reserves are reaching 'crisis level'
Government would have to look at cutting public spending if it hadn't drawn down from the Island's reserves in recent years.

David Ashford's comments came ahead of Tynwald approving Treasury's Department Plan for the year ahead.
Alex Allinson says the alternative to spending from the reserves would be to cut funding for public services:
