Department of Education, Sport and Culture overspends by £8.9 million

Almost £47 million has been overspent by four government departments in the last financial year. Tynwald members will be asked to approve supplementary votes at next month’s sitting of the court in order for them to be brought in on, or just under, budget by 31 March. The Department of Education, Sport and Culture is responsible for £8,900,000 of that overspend. Education Minister Julie Edge sits down with Lewis Foster to explain why.
