Allinson says Ballacloan site is not being advertised on open market
Government has spent almost £70,000 demolishing a former primary school in Douglas.
But it’s not yet clear how much the Ballacloan site, on Demesne Road, has since been valued at.
The demolition started in January last year; the school closed in 2016 three years after it had merged with Fairfield Junior School to become Henry Bloom Noble Primary School.
Treasury Minister Alex Allinson faced questions on the sale of the land in the House of Keys this week and confirmed it had not been advertised on the open market.
Questions were also asked about whether the Manx Development Corporation was paying rent to use the land for the temporary storage of plant vehicles and equipment.
Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse was one of those who queried why things appeared to be moving so slowly:
Police 'actively looking' for drink and drug drivers this Christmas
Fine for man who had to be restrained by five hospital porters
Today's Manxman sailings delayed
MHK questions if reduction in NSC hours goes against Island Plan
