Abortion Bill due for second reading

30 questions tabled in Keys

The Abortion Reform Bill is due to have its second reading in the Keys today (Tues 30).

East Douglas member Chris Robertshaw will also move that the Bill be referred to a committee of five members of the House and report back in late June.

There's a total of 30 questions in the Keys this morning.

The new health minister will be grilled on everything from contraceptives and teenagers' mental health to recently-announced closures at the Children's Centre. 

Julie Edge is to keep the pressure on the policy and reform minister over an ongoing civil service pay review.

There will also be questions about social housing, drink driving, and an update on last year's water seawater contamination scandal in central Douglas.

You can hear full coverage of questions from 10am on Manx Radio's AM1368 frequency, online at manxradio.com or via the smartphone apps.
