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:
Princess Anne to make Island visit
Former ministers to give evidence on fund losses
Police investigate criminal damage to Peel home
DOI looking at breakwater wall repair options
Laxey flood support for Keys discussion
Fare free campaigners to hold public meeting
Collision in Braddan probed by Police
Port Erin restaurant closes down
