A proposal for a "living wage" would not be appropriate as part of the work permit process.
That's according to the Minister for Economic Development.
The issue came up in Tynwald yesterday (Tuesday, April 21st) following a question from Onchan MHK Peter Karran, who wanted to know if work permits should be available only for jobs which pay at least a "living wage"?
Laurence Skelly says there is no clear definition of just what that figure may be:
Palatine GP changes booking system
Patients will have to fill out online questionnaire before being triaged
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Vote to take place in February
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
It's the seventh charity trek organised by Junior Achievement
