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:
'No change to hand baggage policy' says Steam Packet
Jail for man who tried to gouge a police officer's eyes out
Response to census "exceptionally good" so far, says minister
Rushen MHK calls for progress on 20mph zones in south
Man caught with indecent images of children spared jail
