Plantation wood, telegraph poles and Satnav to be discussed in the House of Keys

13 questions tabled for oral answer at this week's sitting

Funds raised for plantation wood, telegraph poles and speed limits on Satnavs are among the topics due to be discussed in the House of Keys this morning

Of the thirteen questions to be asked, 10 come from two members; Arbory, Malew and Castletown member Jason Moorhouse and Glenfaba and Peel MHK Kate Lord-Brennan.

Mr Moorhouse will get things underway with a question about the returns made from plantation wood in recent years.

His other questions range from support to update historic buildings, food hygiene inspections, and if the Register of Protected Buildings is to be completed.

He also wants to know when advice was last given on the use of mobile barbeques.

Ms Lord-Brennan's questions cover the legal powers the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture with regards to planning appeals, and why she delegated responsibility for appeals for the siting of telegraph poles.

Mr Hooper asks about the contract for the recently reopened Northern Civic Amenity Site while Onchan member Julie Edge wants to know if changes in Manx speed limits are passed on to satellite navigation operators.

Elsewhere on the order paper, Clare Barber wants the House to accept that all decisions taken in the House of Keys should be taken by electronic vote.

The sitting gets underway at 10am. You can listen live on Manx Radio's AM 1368, on DAB and other digital platforms. The Legislative Council also sits from 10am.
