With the February sitting of Tynwald set to be dominated by the budget, there are just a handful of other weighty items on the order paper.

There'll be a statement about the Freedom of Information Act from Chief Minister Allan Bell and there are several appointments to be made to some statutory bodies and committees.

Towards the end of the order paper there is one motion and two calls for the formation of a select committee.

Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer wants all women in the Isle of Man to be eligible for breast screening - doing away with it just being offered to those between the age of 50 and 70.

In his motion he will call on Tynwald to note the programme substantially improves the survival rates for breast cancer and so the process shouldn't be subject to an age cap.

Until now the United Kingdom has operated the same policy when it comes to breast screening age, although by 2016 the programme will be extended to women aged 47 to 49, as well as those aged 71 to 73.

The member for Michael Alf Cannan wants a committee to look into the Kirk Michael land exchange agreement, while North Douglas MHK John Houghton wants one to examine the reasons for delays in civil legal proceedings.
