The minimum wage committee is discussing the amount
The chairman of a Manx political party says it's not a big ask to request government to set the legal minimum wage at the level of the Manx living wage.
Currently the minimum wage committee is proposing a rise to minimum wage at £11 per hour however Paul Weatherall says earlier in the year the living wage was calculated at £11.5 which is what they'd like to see.
He says by ensuring the Island's legal minimum wage takes effect in April next year, it will 'significantly help those on low incomes':
