An MHK will ask Tynwald to consider introducing a voluntary living wage on the Isle of Man.
Lawrie Hooper will ask the court to consider bringing in the measure which local businesses can 'opt into' and pay their staff a decided 'living wage'.

He says we'll have to do research as we currently don't have any idea what a living wage might look like:
Castletown police station could be yours... for £250,000
