Extra £5-7million being given to help struggling businesses
The Treasury Minister is confident the Island's economy will bounce back after lockdown, despite acknowledging a continuing need for financial support.
Alf Cannan announced Treasury is injecting a further £5-7million into helping businesses, with MERA and the Salary Support Scheme being extended into next month.
It's to help those currently unable to work as a result of the Island's coronavirus measures.
However, Mr Cannan says the Island bounced back well after the first lockdown and believes the same can be done this time:
Funding of government services 'not sustainable'
Douglas Council object to DoI plans for temporary parking on Summerland site
Surgeon announces he's standing in General Election
'Bridging the care gap' focus of World Parkinson's Day
