The Trade and Industry Minister says it’s time to scrap Tynwald mileage allowances.
David Cretney, who says he’s never claimed a penny in mileage expenses during his 23 years as a South Douglas MHK, believes allowances should no longer be paid as members' salaries have improved considerably over the years.
He’s written to the Clerk of Tynwald's Office asking for a Tynwald committee to consider his request and wants to know how transparent the current allowance claim system is.
The latest figures released in Tynwald show only a third of 11 Tynwald members are claiming mileage allowance.
