The Minister without a Portfolio has asked for time in his new role before being criticised.
Tim Crookall MHK was removed from the role of Minister for Infrastructure last month in a cabinet reshuffle.
Onchan MHK Julie Edge questioned Mr Crookall in the House of Keys yesterday about his new role of assisting with the £10 million of efficiencies programme.
Mr Crookall replied that he wants time to get use to his new position before facing backlash:
LegCo to face questions in this morning's sitting
Passport prices to rise
House of Keys to sit for final time before election
Island cyclist to ride in Tour De France
Police appeal over promenade street brawl
Well-known farm in the west up for sale
Pet foodbank needs your help!
How much cash can government raise in 10 days, asks MHK
