Lawrie Hooper advocates zero-based budgeting
An MHK has expressed his hopes for departmental funding reform in tomorrow's budget.
Ramsey member Lawrie Hooper claims the current system - where all departments are allocated an annual budget based on their previous expenditure - encourages a wasteful attitude to finances.
He's advocating a transition to zero-based or priority budgeting, in order to avoid so-called 'silo' thinking by ministers.
Mr Hooper says attitudes need to change:
SPC says project to replace Manannan ongoing despite claims from minister it's 'on pause'
Ferry company says work is happening 'behind the scenes'
Trial Deemster would likely have been replaced
Acting Deemster Corbett stepped down without issuing a ruling
