Minister believes need is an absolute
The public is being asked for their views on Government's new plans for means testing.
Five 'key principles' have been proposed by Cabinet Office heads, as the policy and reform minister aims to develop what he calls a 'high level policy' on the matter.
This would include giving sole responsibility of means testing calculation to the Treasury.
But, when asked about the concept of need, Chris Thomas said he opposes the use of a 'neediness scale' when talking about vulnerable members of society:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
