Eight initiatives may save £6 million
A government initiative which asked taxpayers for suggestions on saving money is one step closer to being implemented, despite concern from Tynwald.
Treasury's SAVE programme garnered more than a thousand responses when it was launched last year.
Now ministers have chosen eight of them to be progressed, which it's claimed could save the public purse around £6 million per year.
That's considerably less than the original £25 million per year target.
Tynwald members yesterday (Tue) acknowledged the work done so far on the scheme - but raised concerns over an apparent 'budget by the back door'.
Ayre & Michael MHK Tim Baker supports the project.
He says some of his colleagues misunderstood what it's about.
