Difficult to cater support for everyone in times of crisis, says Allinson

Minister gives evidence to Public Accounts Committee

People on the Isle of Man ‘will suffer’ due to the rising costs.

The treasury minister has told Tynwald's Public Accounts Committee it is difficult for government support packages to target everyone who needs help.

Dr Alex Allinson was giving evidence about the current cost of living crisis.

When asked how modelling used to create the packages will ensure and prove they are targeting the right people, he said it is difficult to cater for everyone:

An extraordinary sitting of Tynwald will be held tomorrow where support for residents will be considered.
