Govt "more accountable than ever"

The Chief Minister has hit back at colleagues who refused to support the 2018 Manx Budget.

Last week saw Tynwald giving majority support to the Quayle administration's financial forecasts - but four MHKs stood in opposition.

One of them, Speaker Juan Watterson, branded the budgeting process 'unaccountable' and 'lacking in transparency'.

But Howard Quayle says Mr Watterson never expressed such a feeling during his five year stint as a minister - and maintains his government is 'more accountable than ever'
