Planned changes to go before Tynwald in April
Harsher options were explored, but ultimately not used, when it came to plans to reform the Government Unified Scheme.
That from the chief executive of the Public Sector Pensions Authority, Ian Murray.
He's been speaking in the wake of the announcement the PSPA plans to change GUS, with members contributing up to 50% more to ultimately receive less.
Mr Murray says the impact of some of the options discussed would have been too great:
'Essential' that school staff recognise the signs of an allergic reaction
Policy 'reflects the key principles associated with Benedict’s Law'
'High' risk of wildfires over the next week
More warm and dry weather is forecast
'Come From Away' to continue after cast member injured during rehearsal
Two Feathers Productions issues statement
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Baptist disappointed with lack of investment in town's play areas
