The Treasury Minister says his department will carry on for now without a third political member, following yesterday's (Friday) sacking of Bill Henderson.
Eddie Teare told Manx Radio the North Douglas MHK had gone back on a guarantee he would vote in favour of the introduction of tuition fees, which represented a 'breach of trust'.
Mr Henderson says he offered support, not a guarantee, and maintains he ultimately had to go with his election pledge to oppose such a proposal.
Ed Oldham asked Mr Teare what impact this had had on Treasury, so close to next month's budget:
Consultation seeks feedback on changes to IOM first time buyer schemes
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
'Privilege to represent Island at British-Irish Council', says chief minister
