Week of debate on NI options concludes in Peel

by isleofman.com 5th March 2015

There's a final chance to join in a national debate about the future of the Island's welfare state this evening in Peel.
Public meetings chaired by Treasury Minister Eddie Teare have been held in Douglas, Ramsey and Port Erin this week.
He's told local audiences major reform of state pensions and benefits is vital if the National Insurance fund is to remain viable for future generations.
Mr Teare has used the meetings to outline options to extend the life of the NI fund.
They include longer working to qualify for the full state pension and a cap on the total benefits a family can receive.
The minister says doing nothing is not an option:
