Michael Crowe responds to HoK question
The treasury minister hopes he can eliminate government's deficit by the end of this administration.
Michael Crowe has been responding to a question in the House of Keys today.
He was asked what options, other than the use of the Reserve Fund, Treasury has considered to address the structural deficit of £92 million in public sector spending projected for this financial year.
Mr Crowe says he's hoping to make good on promises made in his election manifesto:
