The direction of future economic policy is weighing on the minds of some members of the House of Keys.

At next week's sitting there are questions about the future of free bus passes, the possibility of introducing a tax levy on international retail and supermarket businesses on the Island, and initiatives to lower fuel costs.

There are 17 questions for oral answer and four more for written reply.

Liberal Vannin concerns dominate the question paper with Kate Beecroft and Zac Hall asking a total of nine questions between them.

Among other things, Mrs Beecroft wants to know when a Freedom of Information Act will be introduced and what plans there are for the creation of leisure facilities for youngsters. She also has a detailed question about Manx Radio's accounts.

Mr Hall is asking about fuel initiatives and the standard of care for Manx cancer patients and Mr Henderson has five queries, including one on the bus timetable.

Onchan MHK David Quirk has a question for the environment minister on his department's policy on seagulls.
