Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer says the government's working on a new policy to means-test those in public housing.
In the House of Keys this week he was asked about the issue by North Douglas MHK David Ashford.
Mr Harmer said the last government never finished its work on plans to means-test those in council or commissioners homes.
And he said the Cabinet Office was now working on a policy which would eventually be implemented:
