Definition of poverty approved
The Speaker of the House of Keys has praised the efforts of his committee, in establishing a definition of poverty on the Island which has now been subscribed to by Tynwald.
In his address to the court, Mr Watterson said the work of his committee would provide the foundations for change - but conceded action to combat it was 'still to come'.
Juan Watterson moved a series of recommendations to shape the way poverty was measured, and tackled, in the future:
Fifth year of no rate increase for Malew residents
The local authority made the decision after a 'careful review' of finances
Trade union calls for independent panel to decide government whistleblowing cases
Unite the Union says government is 'marking its own homework' when deciding what meets the criteria
Town's budget 'stripped back' says Ramsey Commissioner
Juan McGuinness says the rates increase will provide 'base level' for local authority
Mountain Road closed due to heavy snow and wind
Closure to be reviewed later this morning
