Short sitting for Keys

Eight questions and two bills on the order paper

The House of Keys sits this morning, with just eight questions on the agenda.

The first sitting of the Keys this month will be dominated by local issues.

Ramsey member Dr Alex Allinson has his eye on Foxdale - he wants to know if the major roadworks in the village are progressing on time and on budget.

David Ashford has questions over the Meat Plant's marketing strategy, and the number of parking tickets issued by type of offence.

There's also a question from Jason Moorhouse, who wants to know if the Isle of Man Post Office has ever considered a move into banking services.

Away from questions, two bills will be presented for scrutiny.

The Statute Law Revision Bill gets a third reading.

And making its debut in the Keys is the new Customs and Excise Bill, which, among other functions, gives greater powers to authorities to combat terrorist funding.
