Govt membership 'should not be rewarded'
An MHK wants to see an end to what he calls the 'financial incentive' to being part of government.
Ramsey representative Lawrie Hooper is moving that Tynwald refers a review of members' pay to a parliamentary committee.
MHKs currently receive more money for being a member of a government department, but receive no bonuses for being part of scrutiny committees.
Mr Hooper is keen for there to be no discouragement from being a backbencher:
Farmers in race against time after freight backlog in Heysham
Concern for crops and animals after delays to feed and fertiliser deliveries
Further changes to sailing schedule due to tidal restrictions
Manxman crossings affected over next three days
Census 'still one of the most valuable statistical tools' for government
Cabinet Office minister says technical can't count the population as well as the survey
'Immigration is needed' for economic growth on Island
MLC says a shortage of workers is creating challenges for Manx businesses
