Assisted dying, gas supplies and period products to feature in Keys

Thirteen questions for oral answer at this week's sitting

Potential changes to the Assisted Dying Bill, vulnerable gas customers and cannabis cultivation are among the topics set to feature in this morning's sitting of the House of Keys.

Members will also be asked to consider proposals for free period products to be provided on the Isle of Man.

Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson's Assisted Dying Bill reaches its consideration of clauses stage - meaning members will have the chance to put forward amendments to the proposed legislation.

Extending the requirement for residency from one year to five, alternative names for the bill and having the services provided by a charity are among the suggestions due to be considered.

Before that, question time focuses on energy supplies as Douglas Central MHK Chris Thomas has two queries about gas supplies, while Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse is seeking details about the future of Pulrose Power Station.

Mr Moorhouse also wants an update on six-month vehicle licences, and to know what progress has been made on an application for a cannabis cultivation and solar energy park.

Funding for a new swimming pool, roads around Noble's Hospital and the NHS App also feature among this week's questions.

Meanwhile, Douglas East member Joney Faragher will be seeking leave to introduce a bill that would secure the provision of free period products on the Island.

The sitting gets underway at 10am - you can listen live on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency, on DAB or our digital platforms.
