Drug seizure questions in Keys

by isleofman.com 8th November 2011

There is a relatively short House of Keys question paper today (Tuesday), with eight items for oral answer, including three from Onchan MHK David Quirk, and one for written reply.

Topics covered include e-Gaming, road tax and tackling drug crime.

Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer will ask the home affairs minister what percentage of illegal drugs brought into the Isle of Man have been seized by police in the last three years.

He also wants to know the budget for the constabulary's drugs squad has been for the last two financial years, and the current one.

South Douglas member Kate Beecroft has a question on the e-Gaming industry, namely how many people who work in it need work permits, and what sort of salaries they earn.

One of David Quirk's questions is on road tax.

He will ask the infrastructure minister how many vehicles are on the database, and how many in each category are taxed.

Also on the agenda is a message from the Legislative Council, requesting the House of Keys to approve a joint committee, set up by LegCo to look at the Electoral Reform Bill.

There is full coverage of question time in the House of Keys on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency, from 10am.
