MHK admits record for completing works on budget isn't good
A political member for the Treasury admits the Government doesn't have a good track record when it comes to completing capital projects on time and on budget.
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:
Plans submitted for 'significant' flood defences in Ramsey
Tributes paid to cancer awareness campaigner
Police bail for two people arrested in Ramsey incident
WCAS to extend opening hours next month
Government support for two 'long-stalled' Douglas developments
