Joney Faragher claims increasing thresholds won't fix problems
A Douglas East MHK says debate around adjusting the threshold of social housing is a waste of time.
Joney Faragher voted against an amended motion brought in Tynwald.
The motion - which was approved - asks the Department of Infrastructure to review maximum income thresholds for public sector housing - which would in turn enable those on higher incomes to apply.
But Ms Faragher says housing boards are already under enough pressure:
Businesses passing on the VAT reduction to families
