Social security net available to people at different stages
The benefits system on the Isle of Man 'doesn't encourage idleness'.
That's the view of one MHK who is a member of the Treasury with responsibility for the Social Security Division.
Appearing on this afternoon's Mannin Line programme (Thursday), Sarah Maltby was asked if the current system encourages people not to work.
In response, Mrs Maltby says the social security net can be made available to people at different stages in their life:
Officers and partner agencies praised following immigration fraud conviction
Work to improve mooring at Ferry Terminal in Liverpool scheduled for next week
Manx Care reports major drop in dental waiting lists
Police 'disappointed' to find more than half of vehicles with defects in latest winter checks
