Island won't follow UK
Changes to Manx state pensions are to be put before Tynwald.
It comes after a recent overhaul of the UK system, which the Island will not be following.
Under the new rules, pensioners with an employment history in both countries will receive two separate social security cheques.
Safeguards will also be put in place to ensure Manx workers don't lose out on the 46% Manx Pension Supplement.
It's expected to cost around £250,000 per year - but it's said to be an 'interim measure' ahead of a full review of the Island's pension reserves in the years ahead.
MLC and Treasury member Bill Henderson explained what the changes entail:
Skills Strategy hopes to tackle 'significant' skills shortage
Loganair to remove Saturday service to Birmingham
Trial for Douglas man who denies keying car
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
