MHK admits record for completing works on budget isn't good

Tynwald approved an additional £6.5m for the Isle of Man ferry terminal due to be constructed in Liverpool, taking the total to £26.8m.
The extra funds were largely needed due to higher than expected civil engineering costs and the need for higher specification materials.
Bill Shimmins MHK says there is a trend for such schemes coming in over budget and behind schedule:
