People with views about the system of government grants in the Isle of Man now have longer to have their say.

In December Tynwald’s economic policy review committee asked for evidence on the Department for Enterprise’s grant system with a deadline of January 19.

The committee is now inviting further written submissions from anyone with experience of, or views relating to, any of the grant schemes administered by the Department and the eligibility criteria used in applying those schemes with an extended deadline of April 30.

The department’s ’grants and assistance’ fact sheet can be found here: http://www.whereyoucan.com/ibweb/res/pdf//1378-DED-Grants-Assistance-FactSheet-WEB-2016.pdf

The members of the Economic Policy Review Committee appointed by Tynwald are Michael Coleman (chair), Tim Baker MHK and Jason Moorhouse MHK.
