Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall says there's no need to tell civil servants when the heating is turned off or on in government buildings.
This week in the House of Keys he faced a question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about when the heating is turned on.
Mr Crookall said most buildings are controlled by a central engineer and the heating comes on when temperatures drop.
But when Mr Moorhouse asked if staff could be told in advance, Mr Crookall had some advice for civil servants:
Cafe hits back after staff abused
Online appointments being considered by sexual health clinic
Treasury can’t say how much is made from medicinal cannabis
Road closures planned for tin baths this weekend
DOI has no junction safety concerns over Iceland plans
LegCo to face questions in this morning's sitting
Passport prices to rise
House of Keys to sit for final time before election
