SHK to put motion before Tynwald
A Rushen MHK wants Tynwald to investigate levels of poverty on the Isle of Man.
Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson is seeking to establish a committee to explore the underlying causes of poverty and whether government policies help tackle the issue.
His motion will be put to parliament later this month.
The MHK also wants Tynwald to 'recognise the existence of relative poverty and it's debilitating impact on individuals, families and society'.
Mr Watterson admits the situation here doesn't necessarily compare with many other countries, but insists the issue of poverty needs to be examined:
