There's a chance to quiz a minister this evening about what the government's means-testing plans will mean for you.

A consultation is underway as the government plans to introduce means-testing to restrict certain benefit and housing entitlements to those who need them most.

This evening, the public is being invited to a Positive Action Group meeting starting at 7.30pm at the Manx Legion in Market Hill in Douglas.

PAG's Roger Tomlinson says a senior minister will be taking questions from the audience:
