Disquiet over RPI use
Plans to adopt a single, standard policy to measure inflation are in the pipeline, according to the chief minister.
Concerns have been raised after Manx Utilities revealed a 6.4% hike in the Island's water rate based on the retail prices index (RPI).
That's despite the consumer prices index (CPI) being the benchmark for government's monthly inflation rate - which is currently 1.9%.
Howard Quayle says the cost of living on the Island continues to be affected by external influences such as Brexit.
But he insists his top team is working towards a solution:
'Impossible' to calculate market value for affordable housing
Loganair adds Belfast flights for Christmas and New Year
Plans to reduce surgery lists will 'exacerbate' waiting lists
'Disappointing' amount of updates on sewage works say Garff Commissioners
