Ramsey MHK one of eight to vote against this year's Budget
A Ramsey MHK has accused Treasury of ‘raiding’ the National Insurance fund for ‘no good reason’.
Lawrie Hooper says it's one of the reasons why he voted against this year’s Budget.
Minister Alex Allinson denied that his department was doing so during his summing-up speech.
Mr Hooper was one of eight MHKs to vote against the document when it was presented to Tynwald on Tuesday (18 February).
He claimed the financial plan for the year ahead hits median earners the most and protects the wealthy:
'A little bit of help': Baby loss comfort bags delivered to Noble's Hospital
Abuse of Steam Packet staff 'totally unacceptable'
International observers due to arrive ahead of election
Thirty receive DoE Gold awards
