Government says it's set aside £377,000 to run an office in Brussels over the past two years but only spent £327,000.
In the House of Keys this week Onchan MHK Julie Edge asked the Chief Minister how much had been spent on the European office.
Giving the figures Howard Quayle said the office had recently produced reports about Brexit and its implications.
And he added engaging with Brussels and the UK is now more important than ever with tax, transparency and regulation high on the EU's agenda:
