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:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
