Minister hoping for big pensions response

Treasury Minister, Alf Cannan MHK, is urging people of all ages and backgrounds to have their say on the Islands pensions system.

A public consultation on the matter was launched last week wanting the views of employees and employers on what they think of the current structure and how the government can support people to save for retirement.

Mr Cannan has called it an 'extremely important issue' - with the government also considering the possibility of introducing a workplace pension on Island.

The survey is available on the online government consultation hub until Friday, August 23.
