DTI minister David Cretney reckons he 'got it about right' when he suggested a 7.1 per cent increase in the minimum wage, to £6 an hour.
Leader of the union Unite, Mick Hewer, wanted a bigger rise, but Mr Cretney's proposal, which was supported by Tynwald, was more than the £5.85 recommended by the minimum wage committee.
Mr Cretney (pictured) says it was a balancing act:
'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Crews from across the Island ensured cover was available
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
People advised not to enter the water for 28 days
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
Sunday morning closure along Quarterbridge and Peel Road
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
