Hooper says people shouldn't feel pressured to go to work if unwell
A Ramsey MHK believes statutory sick pay should replace the current system of incapacity benefit.
Lawrie Hooper has welcomed government’s decision to look into reforming employment law.

The leader of the Liberal Vannin Party says if anything has been learned from the Covid-19 pandemic it's that people shouldn't feel pressured to go to work if they're unwell:
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
IoM 'must use voice on international stage'
