Chief minister can't provide figure but says they are 'critical'
The chief minister has admitted it’s ‘almost impossible’ to determine how much money government has spent on running consultations.
Thirty-three were carried out in 2024.
Alfred Cannan has described them as a ‘critical part’ of the process of developing new policies and legislation.

Island falls silent to remember them
Average wait of 11 weeks for Disability Living Allowance claims
Man sexually assaulted woman as she slept on beach
Appeal for Onchan FC memorabilia
