If you already own a home, you can’t move into a council or commissioners’ house.
So says Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw after he was quizzed on the issue in the House of Keys this morning.
Onchan MHK Peter Karran asked if he’d bring in new rules to ban property-owners from becoming local authority tenants.
But Mr Robertshaw told him there were already rules barring people from doing just that:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
People can surrender weapons without fear of prosecution
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
