A new public sector pension scheme has passed its final political hurdle in Tynwald.
The Unified Isle of Man Government Scheme brings together more than a dozen separate schemes for public workers.
Tynwald members received the Council of Ministers' reports and recommendations in the court today (Wednesday).
Negotiations on how the scheme will be brought in are still to come, but it will be enforced from April next year.
Legislative Council member Clare Christian was among a number of speakers who suggested reform was a matter of supreme importance:
Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
