MLP also wants free travel for over 75s
The Manx Labour Party says it wants the government to rethink its stance on free TV licences for the over-75s.
On Tynwald Day, Castletown Commissioner Carol Quine – who’ll be contesting this September’s House of Keys general election, presented a petition for redress of grievance.
She says she wants the government to look again at making over-75s pay for their licences as well as removing their free travel on trains and trams.
Mrs Quine says the Labour Party opposes both measures:
Jenkins: 'I want to stabilise, strengthen and streamline government'
Thomas: 'I'll provide a smaller, smarter, smoother government'
