Budget process to be explained

Mon, 31 Jan 2011

A meeting to explain the Government's budget process is being held in Douglas this evening.

The Positive Action Group will hold the Bluffers Guide to the Budget, where the public will be given the chance to learn how the budget is put together.

Rushen MHK Juan Watterson will speak at the meeting, advising where the money comes from and goes to, and how to interpret the budget documents when they're released.

Treasury Minister Anne Craine will deliver the budget in Tynwald on February 15th.

Mr Watterson hopes his presentation will help make the budget more accessible [play clip]

The meeting takes place at the Manx Legion Club from 7.30.
