Social security net available to people at different stages
The benefits system on the Isle of Man 'doesn't encourage idleness'.
That's the view of one MHK who is a member of the Treasury with responsibility for the Social Security Division.
Appearing on this afternoon's Mannin Line programme (Thursday), Sarah Maltby was asked if the current system encourages people not to work.
In response, Mrs Maltby says the social security net can be made available to people at different stages in their life:
Onchan election result stands but Edge loses votes
'Not realistic' to say road fuel increases create a specific windfall in VAT
One person treated for smoke inhalation following Anagh Coar flat fire
Community information sessions planned for offshore wind farm proposal
