MHK to raise issue in Tynwald
An MHK says the benefits of reforming the Island's cannabis laws could stretch much further than just bringing in extra tax revenue.
Alex Allinson will table a question to Treasury in the last Tynwald sitting before the summer recess next week (Tuesday, 17 July).
Dr Allinson has outlined his reasons for wanting to push for change:
Staffing shortages continue to impact Manx breast clinic services
Key specialist unavailable for at least three weeks as Manx Care works to maintain breast services
'Every single aspect of prison being tested' as it remains over official capacity
The main Isle of Man Prison building can accommodate 143 prisoners - there are currently 160
No plans for IoM to introduce EU's artificial intelligence regulations
Government working on bespoke strategy to 'address unique needs of Island'
Cummal Mooar replacement proposals 'before the summer recess'
