Rise proposal to go before Tynwald this month
The Liberal Vannin Party is demanding the government better protects people against rising utility costs.
Later this month, Manx Utilities Authority Chairman Alfred Cannan MHK will put the case to Tynwald to approve a 50% increase in the sewerage charge.
Lib Van Spokesperson for Finance Lawrie Hooper says the government should adopt an across-the-board approach:
Government plans to withdraw interest from reserve fund no longer required
Higher than expected income tax receipts mean it's not necessary
Medical cannabis should be 'holistic', says pharmacistÂ
Drug has 'useful benefits' but isn't 'the be-all and end-all'
Peel Commissioners not adding 'discretionary' one percent increase to social housing rents
It reviewed rent arrear levels and 'escalating' food costs when making the decision
New organ donation laws set to come into force in coming weeks
It follows Tynwald approval of new measures earlier this year
