Tynwald asked to support 15 recommendations
The Manx Government has probably ‘failed’ families because of an ‘anti-family sentiment’ through previous administrations.
That’s the view of the chair of the Population Rebalancing Committee.

Dr Michelle Haywood says she thinks there is an explanation for why it hasn’t been a priority:
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
