MHK's questions can't be costed, says government

The government says it doesn't know how much money's been spent answering parliamentary questions by an MHK from the south of the Island.

A Freedom of Information request asked how much on average was spent researching House of Keys questions for Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.

In its response, the Cabinet Office says civil servants don't account for the time spent on answering questions.

And it added it therefore wouldn't be possible to calculate the average cost.
