Debate over MiCards to continue in Keys next week

An ongoing debate about how people without bank accounts will receive benefits once MiCard is axed continues in the House of Keys next week.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will be asking Treasury Minister Alex Allinson how many MiCard users have a bank account. 

Last month the minister said he didn't know how many of the 1,251 people who rely on the system would be able to open one to receive benefits.

The House of Keys will sit in Legislative Buildings in Douglas on Tuesday, November 11 at 10am.
