The Treasury will not blindly follow the UK in its welfare policies.
That's according to its minister Eddie Teare, who appeared before the Economic Policy Review Committee this afternoon (Friday).
When asked if we would follow the UK's plans to cut funds to welfare by £12 million, Mr Teare was adamant we would not.
He says now's the time for the Isle of Man to take charge:
Rapid bed review finds 'deep rooted behavioural and cultural issues' at Noble's Hospital
'Iconic' 250-year-old Ballaugh elm trees felled due to disease
Report published following rapid review of bed capacity at Noble’s Hospital
'Big discussions' to be had over whether Isle of Man follows UK-style social media ban
