Call for further investigation into NI and social security schemes

An MHK says more detailed analysis will be needed to assess the Island’s national insurance and social security schemes.

Treasury is launching a consultation later this month seeking public feedback before recommendations go to Tynwald this July.

However, in Tynwald next week, Michael member Alfred Cannan will call for a select committee to be formed to look in-depth at the issue.

Mr Cannan says whatever is agreed locally needs to be both workable and in the best interests of the Island.
