Treasury Minister announces changes ahead of lockdown
Two support packages available to help those impacted by the upcoming lockdown are being increased.
The salary support scheme will go up from £280 per week to £310, while MERA is rising from £200 to £230.
Treasury Minister Alf Cannan made the announcement in the House of Keys this morning.
