The controversial plan to end state pre-school provision in the Isle of Man sparked a heated exchange of words during House of Keys questions today.
In a supplementary question, East Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell asked Education Minister Peter Karran if he'd visited any of the pre-schools before his department's decision had been made.
When Mrs Cannell felt she hadn't had a proper answer from the minister, she pushed him for clarification.
This was his response:
Substantial damaged caused by fire station blaze
Two firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
‘No risk to public’ after fire at Castletown Fire Station
Emergency services tackle blaze near Ronaldsway
Not one affordable house available to buy
There were 266 applicants on the register as of 20 July
