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:
Westmoreland Village granted extension
Planning Committee agreed to extend the deadline until January 2027
Niarbyl Café to reopen in spring 2027
Will be operated by Woodbourne Group
