Political interference questions in Keys

Blood clinics, Michael Primary School's playing fields and government stationery are among the topics up for discussion in the House of Keys today (Tuesday).

There are eight questions for oral answer, the same number for written reply, and six bills for consideration.

Among the questions are two from Onchan MHK Peter Karran about potential political interference with the Island's judicial system, and Rushen MHK Juan Watterson will ask Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne if the government can buy Port Erin's former swimming pool.

Michael MHK David Cannan will quiz Education Minister Eddie Teare about a deal which would see a playing field at the village primary school transferred to developer Heritage Homes, and West Douglas MHK Geoff Corkish will ask for a statement from Mr Gawne about large vehicles parked in residential areas, after the DOI asked for people's views on the issue.

New legislation being brought forward includes a Criminal Justice Amendment Bill, a housing bill restricting ownership and occupation, and new flood risk management laws.

There is live coverage of question time in the House of Keys on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency, from 10am.

The Legislative Council sits at 10.30am and has six bills for consideration.
