Treasury Minister confirms it won't be paid back
More than £90 million was taken out of the Isle of Man’s National Insurance Fund during the Covid-19 pandemic.
In the House of Keys this week the treasury minister confirmed there are no plans to replace this money.
It was used to support two initiatives - the Manx Earnings Replacement Allowance and the Salary Support Scheme – which helped those who found themselves out of work.
Douglas Central MHK Chris Thomas queried whether this had led to other problems:
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
Poppy Appeal underway ahead of Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day
Plans to open designated space for medicinal cannabis consumption
