Does the government need to employ more part-timers?
That's the question Arbory, Castleton and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse put to Chief Minister Alf Cannan in Tynwald this week.
Mr Moorhouse said hiring more part-time workers and giving them the opportunities offered to full-time staff might help bring people back into the workforce.
But Mr Cannan said a variety of posts were already advertised by departments and boards:
