Poverty investigation to go ahead

A group of Tynwald members have been given the green light to investigate poverty on the Isle of Man.

Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson gained support to set up a committee to look into the causes of poverty, and to assess how well the government's tacking the issue. 

The committee will be made up of Mr Watterson, MLC Tanya August-Hanson and Castletown, Arbory and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.

They'll report back to Tynwald by October 2018.
