Government says it won't take a one size fits all approach
Government is "moving in the right direction with means testing" - that from the Liberal Vannin Party.
LibVan has positively responded to the public consultation; saying it identifies potentially reasonable, consistent, and cost-effective ways of introducing it here.
Member, Ramsey MHK, Lawrie Hooper, says the party is largely in agreement with the document in principle - with minor suggestions for improvement.
The Cabinet Office wants Treasury to be given responsibility for testing, which it insists won't take a 'one size fits all' approach.
Mr Hooper says it appears to be taking a common sense route to a fairer system:
Businesses have until April to prepare for minimum wage increase
Infrastructure minister insists school buses will not be scrapped
Braddan Commissioners says social housing roof works doubled in costÂ
'No evidence' Isle of Man in recession, says treasury minister
