Government departments urged to 'innovate'
A senior government minister says it's time the Island faced up to 'uncomfortable truths' about the economy, rather than blaming the data.
Questions have been raised in recent weeks about the way the Cabinet Office collects and distributes information, after a reported 'cliff edge' drop in visitor numbers.
A review into research methods has been launched.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says the public should not be concerned about similar studies, such as the census or inflation figures - which have also painted a worrying picture in recent years.
He's calling on government departments to innovate instead of taking issue:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
