Members pass measures unanimously
The Treasury Minister insists yesterday's budget announcement was merely a 'first step' towards economic reform.
Alf Cannan's five year plan for rebalancing the books grabbed headlines with a boost to personal tax allowance, child benefit and state pension payouts.
The measures were unanimously passed by Tynwald.
But critics in the court raised concerns over a lack of promises on local authority reform, or means testing people on benefits.
However Mr Cannan claimed these were still on the agenda - and work on all fronts was ongoing:
Senior doctors and consultants call for intervention amid 'critical shortfall in bed capacity' at Noble's Hospital
Rolling delays see Manxman sailings cancelled
Ban for Norfolk electrician caught drug driving
Assisted dying bill receiving 'due attention it deserves' in UK
