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.

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:
