Different ways to engage with public - minister
The policy and reform minister says government should be able to engage with the public without relying on consultations.
West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas was responding to a question from Ramsey colleague Lawrie Hooper in the House of Keys this morning.
It was revealed the current Code of Practice on Consultations is still being used - despite the exercise being under review.
Mr Thomas feels there are other ways in which feedback can be gathered:
