A move to delay the Manx government restructuring and openly discuss the plans has been backed by a leading union.
The Isle of Man Trades Council says the proposal - revealed by Rushen MHK Juan Watterson this week - is needed so everyone affected can have an input.
Mr Watterson and five other MHKs have come up with the plan and will present it to Tynwald next week, when the Chief Minister's new government framework is to be debated and voted on.
IOMTUC president Angela Moffatt says more consultation is needed for something as important as this.
