The controversial plan to end state pre-school provision in the Isle of Man sparked a heated exchange of words during House of Keys questions today.
In a supplementary question, East Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell asked Education Minister Peter Karran if he'd visited any of the pre-schools before his department's decision had been made.
When Mrs Cannell felt she hadn't had a proper answer from the minister, she pushed him for clarification.
This was his response:
Amendments to Assisted Dying Bill approved by Tynwald
Bill will now be resubmitted for royal assent
No routine GP appointments Wednesday afternoonÂ
Doctors attending education sessionÂ
Last chance to submit nominations for local authority by-elections
Douglas, Ballaugh and Port St Mary looking for new board membersÂ
Rapid review into hospital provides 'clear direction' but there is 'no single solution', says minister
Claire Christian faces questions after report finds 'deep rooted' issues
