A new-look Programme for Government for the year ahead will be laid before Tynwald in March.

That’s according to the Chief Minister who told the House of Keys yesterday that changes to the 'living' document have been approved by the Council of Ministers.

It followed a question raised by South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft about the process followed when making amendments, additions or deletions.

Howard Quayle told her: "Any amendments, additions and deletion are expected to keep the programme current and effective in driving delivery of outcomes as well as responsive to changes in the external environment."

The Programme for Government was first approved in 2017.
