The Treasury will not blindly follow the UK in its welfare policies.
That's according to its minister Eddie Teare, who appeared before the Economic Policy Review Committee this afternoon (Friday).
When asked if we would follow the UK's plans to cut funds to welfare by £12 million, Mr Teare was adamant we would not.
He says now's the time for the Isle of Man to take charge:
Manx Care hopeful new offer will be accepted amid looming industrial action
BMA members considering updated pay offer from health body
Island-based Strix factory to close
Ramsey operations to transfer to China plant
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Eateries closing on several days due to lack of staff
Bride Commissioners organise drop in session about NCAS funding
Board member Ivan Burton says current costs 'unfairly penalise residents in parish
