Follows recent 'upswing' in requests
The Speaker of the House of Keys is clamping down on the number of urgent questions being tabled.
Juan Watterson says it follows a recent ‘upswing’ in requests for immediate information.
This week he made a new ruling which fine-tunes the criteria which a question must fall into.
Mr Watterson says matters must relate to very recent or imminent events or developments:
Lord Street development granted planning permission
Planning committee approved plans for project

But Manx Care refutes shortage figures saying work continues to ease pressure
Charity reports marked increase in level of debt residents are struggling with
Salvation Army marking Debt Awareness Week
