MLP also wants free travel for over 75s
The Manx Labour Party says it wants the government to rethink its stance on free TV licences for the over-75s.
On Tynwald Day, Castletown Commissioner Carol Quine – who’ll be contesting this September’s House of Keys general election, presented a petition for redress of grievance.
She says she wants the government to look again at making over-75s pay for their licences as well as removing their free travel on trains and trams.
Mrs Quine says the Labour Party opposes both measures:
Yellow weather warning for gale force winds
Island offers consumer fuel protection advice
Ballabeg man declares intention to stand in 2026 General Election
Government 'might not be targeting the right people' to move to the Island says MHK
Almost 800 people have had their visa curtailed in the past three years
