Ramsey MHK voices concerns over late benefits payments

Fri, 13 Dec 2019

An MHK has given his opinion regarding the late benefits payments last week.

Lawrie Hooper MHK for Ramsey has said the Treasury Minister Alf Cannan MHK's response in Tynwald this week was 'concerning', after Mr Cannan stated that the reason for the delay was due to an email sent to the wrong address.

He's stated that it's alarming to not have a more robust system in place to ensure benefits are paid on time, rather than relying soley on emails.

Speaking to Energy FM Mr Hooper explained what he thinks should be implemented in Treasury processes:
