Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says there's no need to tell civil servants when the heating is turned off or on in government buildings.
This week in the House of Keys he faced a question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about when the heating is turned on.
Mr Crookall said most buildings are controlled by a central engineer and the heating comes on when temperatures drop.
But when Mr Moorhouse asked if staff could be told in advance, Mr Crookall had some advice for civil servants:
Southern dairy farm to stop its milk rounds
Gales to bring coastal overtopping tonight
Local authority to discuss Pride event numbers
Trade union says population report is damning for Cannan
Santas on a Bike event tomorrow - with nearly £45k already raised
Cavendish says he'd like to start own cycling team
Land reserve requests would be made public, says minister
Mountain Road re-opens after overnight closure
