Other projects will go ahead
Treasury Minister Alf Cannan says the proposed write-off of £95 million of Manx Utilities debt is affordable.
If approved by Tynwald later this month, it will mean the MUA will freeze charges for water, sewerage, electricity standing charges and put a 2% cap on electricity prices for the next year.
However, it does mean £6.5 million a year will be missing from the Treasury Capital Programme.
Mr Cannan says that won't be an issue in the short-term and doesn't mean some other schemes will be put on hold:-
Tynwald to consider Assisted Dying Bill amendments in June
Douglas Council seeks permission for building compound on Ballanard Road playing field
DoI has 'really big' issues to address at Island's airport
Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson won't be seeking re-election
