Definition of poverty approved
The Speaker of the House of Keys has praised the efforts of his committee, in establishing a definition of poverty on the Island which has now been subscribed to by Tynwald.
In his address to the court, Mr Watterson said the work of his committee would provide the foundations for change - but conceded action to combat it was 'still to come'.
Juan Watterson moved a series of recommendations to shape the way poverty was measured, and tackled, in the future:
No increase in domestic gas prices for rest of 2026
CURA carries out interim review into tariffs
Law targeting sale of nicotine pouches takes step further
Nicotine Products Bill 2026 passes through Keys while LegCo asks for more time
Procurement process for Kirk Onchan Post Office continuing
And question mark over future of services in PSM
Bus station will not be moved to the Sea Terminal
DoI favours a £735,000 'combined package' of facilities elsewhere instead
