Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says no government staff have been paid for rest and recuperation, but he isn't sure what the phrase means.
In the House of Keys yesterday (Tuesday) he faced a question for written reply from South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft.
She wanted to know what rest and recuperation payments had been made to government staff or contractors over the last five years.
Mr Teare said he wasn't aware of any rest and recuperation payments, but offered to investigate if Mrs Beecroft clarified the question.
