MHK queries cost of extending MiCard scheme

An MHK wants to know how much a government U-turn over benefits and pensions payments will cost.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will Treasury Minister Alex Allinson about the cost of extending the MiCard system when the House of Keys sits next week.

It's after Tynwald voted to extend the MiCard scheme, despite government plans to scrap it at the end of the year in favour of direct payments into bank accounts.

MHKs are due to meet from 10am on Tuesday, December 2.
