The author of a report calling on the Manx government to drastically downsize itself says he's cautiously optimistic the message has 'hit home'.
Last week the Council of Ministers issued its response to Robert Quayle's Scope report, agreeing that in future government should be much smaller and provide many fewer direct public services funded by the taxpayer.
CoMin's response to the Scope report setting-out eight guiding principles, follows an extensive public consultation.
It will be presented to Tynwald this week.
Report author Robert Quayle says their key recommendation has been taken on board:
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
Port St Mary Commissioners discuss civic amenity site changes
