Tynwald asked to support 15 recommendations
The Manx Government has probably ‘failed’ families because of an ‘anti-family sentiment’ through previous administrations.
That’s the view of the chair of the Population Rebalancing Committee.
The committee will ask Tynwald to support 15 recommendations designed to tackle demographic imbalances including an ‘urgent and substantial uprating’ of Maternity Allowance.
Dr Michelle Haywood says she thinks there is an explanation for why it hasn’t been a priority:
Man to stand trial after denying wounding with intent to murder
'Meaningful change' needed to ensure long-term future of sidecars at TT
The future of bus travel?
Bird numbers 'humanely managed' at St John's
