Departments aren't empires and their ministers can't push policy priorities:
That's the message from the Policy and Reform Minister - who's trying to put a stop to individual silos flouting proper procedures.
Variations to policy need to be approved by Tynwald, recommended by the Council of Ministers and endorsed by three ministers and a sub-committee.
John Shimmin says historically he's been guilty of pushing causes for consideration without formal endorsement.
He says it now takes longer, but it's a fairer system:
TT week pub fight started over seat
Neighbour feud led to knife incident
'Think before you jump', police urge
July Tynwald enters second day
Deemster 'honoured' to have served Island
Thousands of Noble's operations cancelled
Police to hold weapon surrender
'Survey proves Island quality of life'
