Minister unveils plans to end addon
Treasury Minister Eddie Teare says the government will start moves to phase out the Manx Pension Supplement very soon.
This morning in the House of Keys he faced questions from Onchan MHK Pater Karran about the supplement – a bonus sum for those who’ve paid ten years of contributions here.
Mr Teare said plans had been put together to phase out the addon over the coming years.
But he said he has the backing of the Manx people:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
People can surrender weapons without fear of prosecution
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
