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:
Island's first rapid EV charger being installed
Mooir Vannin could be first of many
'Significant investment or redevelopment' needed at Ramsey District Cottage Hospital
Braddan Commissioners open expressions of interest for TT camping at Roundhouse
