July's Tynwald sitting brought forward due to high volume of business

Final sitting before summer recess will now begin a day earlier

Next month's sitting of Tynwald will begin a day earlier than originally scheduled due to the expected high volume of business.

The sitting had been due to get underway on Tuesday 15 July, but the President of Tynwald has confirmed it will now start on Monday 14 July instead.

Government motions put forward for July's sitting include the vote on the healthcare overspend, opt-out organ donation and a review of the living wage.

The sitting is also set to feature debates on committee reports into Tynwald members' resettlement grants and landfill, as well as motions from backbenchers on rates reform, parking charges and development at the Park Road site.
