Vote to be held in November after amendment defeated
The MHK, who is demanding greater independence for any body looking into Tynwald members pay, says it could come from off-Island:
Julie Edge had questioned the depth of perceived independence of the original panel, whose suggestions for a new pay structure have been debated by Tynwald.
Her amendment (see below) was voted down after a lengthy debate on changes suggested by an independent panel, including past Chief Minister, Sir Miles Walker.
It will now be put to a combined vote next month.
Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper says the return of the health minister, who was absent from the Court yesterday, could swing the balance:
Isle of Man economy contracts for second year
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
Job Centre unable to reliably identify duplicate vacancies
Airport warns high winds could impact flights
