The Chief Minister has defended commercial confidentiality contracts saying they can be in the best interests of the taxpayer.
Howard Quayle says it's better for the Isle of Man to get as many companies quoting for government contracts as possible.
His comments come after Treasury Minister Alf Cannan defended keeping some information out of the public domain - despite it being taxpayers' money that's being spent.
Mr Quayle says 'in principle' government wants to be transparent but when it's not it's for good reason:
Bank deposits up by nearly £3 billion on last year
Island sanctions Israelis for Palestine human rights breaches
Last chance to give government your views on high streets
Regulator releases new anti-money laundering guides
New advice for businesses on company ownership laws
