The Chief Minister says he doesn't know how much consultations cost the government.
Alf Cannan was questioned by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse in the House of Keys about the total cost of consultations in 2024.
Mr Cannan said that in total 33 consultations were completed last year and they are an essential part of forming legislation.
