Cannan asks Tynwald to approve £100 million recovery fund
Public finances have taken a hit of between £120 and £190 million according to Treasury estimates.
It's one of the forecasts Alf Cannan has provided today (21 July), as he asked Tynwald to approve a new £100 million recovery fund to help the Manx economy bounce back from Covid-19.
It's as government will phase out business and salary support, which it's forecast will have paid out more than £70 million.
The treasury minister says this direct help couldn't continue indefinitely:
School leaders’ union claims members’ concerns ‘ignored’ amid Tynwald whistleblowing inquiry
Lord Street development granted planning permission
No Ireland sailings for Paddy's Day
Doctors claim 'critical shortfall' in hospital beds is posing 'direct risk' to life
