    Government departments to ask for extra £46.7m to cover overspending

    Four government departments will ask Tynwald for an extra £46.7 million pounds to cover overspending.

    When the court sits next month, the Departments of Health and Social Care, Education, Sport and Culture, Infrastructure and Home Affairs will ask for the extra cash.

    Treasury Minister Dr Alex Allinson says the economic situation has meant extra pressure on budgets but the government won't need to dip into reserves.

    The DHSC wants an extra £30 million, Education needs almost £9 million while the DOI wants £5.7 million and Home Affairs will ask members to approve an extra £2.2 million.
