Questions raised by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper
Treasury's progress on 'pension freedoms' will be questioned in the House of Keys tomorrow (Tue).
The scheme, introduced in the UK in 2015, allows private pension recipients to take their entire benefit as a lump sum aged 55, as opposed to a traditional annuation.
Those who withdraw the full amount are entitled to the first 25 per cent tax free.
Bringing in a similar system was mooted by the Island's ex-Treasury Minister Eddie Teare at the time.
But Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper wants an update from this administration:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
