Question into Chief Minister's correspondence

There’s a glimpse into the workload of being Chief Minister in a written answer to a question in Tynwald this week.

Onchan MHK Zac Hall asked a detailed question of Allan Bell, about how many letters and emails from members he’s received since October last year.

Mr Bell said he’d received 40 letters and 511 emails – and in reply he’d sent 21 letters and 263 emails as well as holding 300 meetings.

In his answer, Mr Bell said the figures don’t include information emails and letters, or phone calls and responses given in person.
