Members pass measures unanimously
The Treasury Minister insists yesterday's budget announcement was merely a 'first step' towards economic reform.
Alf Cannan's five year plan for rebalancing the books grabbed headlines with a boost to personal tax allowance, child benefit and state pension payouts.
The measures were unanimously passed by Tynwald.
But critics in the court raised concerns over a lack of promises on local authority reform, or means testing people on benefits.
However Mr Cannan claimed these were still on the agenda - and work on all fronts was ongoing:
ANPR technology to be in place at Island's ports soon
Cannan: 'This government has dealt with the most challenging circumstances in recent times'
A harm reduction approach to drugs 'isn't about being soft'
Bin fire in Douglas caused by discarded ashes
