The Treasury Minister has accused the leader of the Liberal Vannin Party of failing to help the development of new industries on the Isle of Man.
It followed Kate Beecroft's questioning about the Media Development Fund in Tynwald this week - she wanted to know how much money was left in the pot.
The South Douglas MHK also asked who was advising government on potential opportunities following the resignation of the former post holder Steve Christian.
Eddie Teare confirmed there was £31.5 million in the fund - which included a cash balance of £12 million - however he slammed her questioning leaving Mrs Beecroft to defend herself:
