Chief Minister Howard Quayle MHK

The Chief Minister has confirmed he will start work on the Programme for Government for next month's Tynwald sitting.

Howard Quayle was asked when he'll outline the Government's priorities by Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson.

Mr Quayle revealed he'll be making a statement in November, and intends to have a debate on Government policy before Christmas.

After February's budget, there will be another draft of the programme which will then go before Tynwald in March next year.

The Chief Minister was speaking at October's Tynwald sitting, which is his first in the job.
