The Treasury Minister says his department will carry on for now without a third political member, following yesterday's (Friday) sacking of Bill Henderson.
Eddie Teare told Manx Radio the North Douglas MHK had gone back on a guarantee he would vote in favour of the introduction of tuition fees, which represented a 'breach of trust'.
Mr Henderson says he offered support, not a guarantee, and maintains he ultimately had to go with his election pledge to oppose such a proposal.
Ed Oldham asked Mr Teare what impact this had had on Treasury, so close to next month's budget:
Douglas Council rules out rent-to-buy scheme
Postal services to USA still suspended
Heavy rain prompts yellow weather warning from Ronaldsway Met Office
Manx business hopes to raise awareness of wig vouchers
MiCard users advised to take money out before the end of the year
