A report on government projects on the likes of higher education and legal aid on Island will go before Tynwald this month.

Treasury Minister, Alf Cannan MHK, will present an update on the Securing Added Value and Efficiences (SAVE) report to members at the courts July sitting.

Tynwald members who receive the report will also be asked to support creating a government-owned organisation to take responsibility of operating the airport following an external review on the matter by York Aviation.

The document outlines the initiatives officials are currently working on to provide better financial value and improve delivery of public services.
