Follows call to Manx Radio's Mannin Line
It's 'more efficient to deduct money from the source' when someone is convicted of benefit fraud.
That's from Treasury's Social Security Director, who appeared on Mannin Line earlier today (15 June).
A question was submitted from a member of the public querying the system which sees benefit cheats repay that money from future benefit payments.
But Victoria McLauchlan insisted the taxpayer isn't 'paying twice' in these scenarios:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Bowring Road Tesco store closed following incident in the car park
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
Meeting to provide information on planned updates to Island’s Countering the Financing of Terrorism framework
