Hourly rate will increase to £7.50 from 1 June
The Licensed Victuallers Association has backed plans to increase the minimum wage for over-25s.
From 1 June, the rate will rise to £7.50 an hour.
Brewery Heron and Brearley this week criticised the move - claiming it could lead to job losses and some firms closing down.
But Chairman of the LVA Andy Saunders doesn't agree:
More coastal overtopping expected as strong winds continue
New weather warning covers next two high tides
Full lighting capability restored at Isle of Man Airport
Issue affecting main runway now fixed
Snaefell Mountain Railway out of action after storm damage
But the MER will be operating as normal tomorrow
Council confident for Manor Pub's future
Question marks over beloved establishment's future
