Joney Faragher to request leave to introduce Private Members Bill
An MHK has outlined plans to secure the provision of free period products on the Island.
In the House of Keys next week, Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher will request leave to introduce a Private Members' Bill on the matter.
Earlier this year she backed a campaign by the group Manx Menstrual Movement which hopes, like Scotland, to make period products freely available to anyone who needs them.
Ms Faragher she wants it to address period poverty in two ways:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
Education minister defends attempt to reopen schools for a half day on snow day
