Chief Minister Allan Bell says he won’t be taking advantage of a pay rise offered to civil servants.
Chairman of the Civil Service Commission Alf Cannan says a deal struck with unions will see government staff get a 20-pence an hour increase.
But despite MHKs’ pay being linked to civil service settlements, Mr Bell says he won’t be accepting it.
He says other members will have to listen to their consciences:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Work to tackle problems taking longer than anticipated
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Ballaugh, Bride, Garff and Jurby Commissioners all seeking additional members
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
