Treasury says it's 'very unlikely' a Tynwald vote on funding for the replacement for Castle Rushen High School will take place during this administration.
Senior figures from the department were asked about progress on the project during an appearance before the Public Accounts Committee.

He told the committee work on the cost is ongoing:
