Children who go to school outside of their catchment area should make their own way to school.
That’s the view of the Community, Culture and Leisure Minister who says it’s part of the reason his department is losing money.
Graham Cregeen was quizzed in the House of Keys earlier this week as to what steps his department is taking to minimise the current half a million pound deficit.
He confirmed talks were ongoing between the Department of Education and Children in an effort to find potential savings.
Mr Cregeen says it is a big problem:
Number of post offices to temporarily close for a day
Minister says she can't provide update on NSC floor tiles
Afternoon ferry is next to be cancelled by weather
Difficult to compare Island's Hospice funding with UK, says minister
Mountain Road to close because of gales
New amber warning issued for tonight's storm
Police appeal over theft of building materials
One of capital's oldest buildings may become housing
