It's in the paper work and early regulations for reciprocity of welfare state benefits, pensions, and NHS. I came across it regularly when looking at reciprocity issues when sitting as Social Security Appeals Tribunal Chair. It's in the 1948 Hansard for the ioM NHS legislation. It was supposed to be seamless between IoM GB and Northern Ireland ( the system in NI is wholly separately legislated - but fully reciprocally integrated. Much of the IoM stuff was based on the GB NI agreements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not keen on the unions either. But at least the Labour Party didn't take money from oligarchs linked to Putin. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/feb/23/oligarchs-funding-tories https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/dark-money-investigations/conservative-party-russia-donors-ukraine-invasion/ 57 minutes ago, Banker said: No !

It's really not ok them having to use food banks. But it's a mixed picture. The postal union is definitely standing in the way of modernisation and refusing to accept that the old fashioned letter service should be phased out. And the rail unions supported Brexit - which helped to create the cost of living crisis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
