Govt membership 'should not be rewarded'
An MHK wants to see an end to what he calls the 'financial incentive' to being part of government.
Ramsey representative Lawrie Hooper is moving that Tynwald refers a review of members' pay to a parliamentary committee.
MHKs currently receive more money for being a member of a government department, but receive no bonuses for being part of scrutiny committees.
Mr Hooper is keen for there to be no discouragement from being a backbencher:
Multi-agency response to fire in Douglas
Emergency services called to property in Anagh Coar
General Election recount to take place at Douglas Courthouse
Follows petition from ousted MHK Julie Edge
Planners approve further redevelopment work on Castle Mona
Committee says planned work will ‘preserve character and appearance’
