MHK admits record for completing works on budget isn't good
A political member for the Treasury admits the Government doesn't have a good track record when it comes to completing capital projects on time and on budget.
Tynwald approved an additional £6.5m for the Isle of Man ferry terminal due to be constructed in Liverpool, taking the total to £26.8m.
The extra funds were largely needed due to higher than expected civil engineering costs and the need for higher specification materials.
Bill Shimmins MHK says there is a trend for such schemes coming in over budget and behind schedule:
