Backbench alliance says public needs to see gov't doing its bit to save costs
A political alliance of backbench MHKs says there will need to be public sector job cuts to address what it's described as a 'financial gap'.
The group, consisting of Claire Christian, Julie Edge and Chris Thomas, is calling for more transparency over government's spending.
Last week, it was revealed the number of full-time positions within the public service had increased by more than 250 in less than a year.
Mr Thomas says ultimately that figure needs to be reduced:
Tynwald approves changes to sitting schedule, including half-term breaks and revised start dates
Plea to Manx parents to check meningitis vaccination status
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
