Planned changes to go before Tynwald in April
Harsher options were explored, but ultimately not used, when it came to plans to reform the Government Unified Scheme.
That from the chief executive of the Public Sector Pensions Authority, Ian Murray.
He's been speaking in the wake of the announcement the PSPA plans to change GUS, with members contributing up to 50% more to ultimately receive less.
Mr Murray says the impact of some of the options discussed would have been too great:
New chair for Manx Care
Tynwald will be asked to approve the appointment this month
Douglas scout group hit by development uncertainty
Westmoreland Village project having 'negative impact'
New minister queries whether HMOs should be licensed
Callister considering it as part of housing plan
Cannan to raise windfarm conflict of interest issue
