Lawrie Hooper says it would make more money available to the DESC
A Ramsey MHK has put forward a motion to introduce an all Island leisure rate, with the money ringfenced to pay for the regional swimming pools.
Lawrie Hooper says there needs to be more 'fairness' because residents in the east don't pay for the NSC whilst others pay twice.
The motion, set to be heard in January next year, is also asking Treasury to report to Tynwald by March 2025 with a timetable for the introduction of the rate before the end of the current administration.
Mr Hooper says local authorities should remain in charge of operating the facilities.
