Breast cancer care, children with English as their second language and a pension gender gap are all up for discussion in the House of Keys today (Tuesday).

The question paper has 15 items for oral answer and two for written reply, after which MHKs will look at three bills.

However, one of those is being scrapped because it suggests a way to cope with the loss of the Island's Reciprocal Health Agreement.

After the United Kingdom agreed a new deal, Onchan MHK Peter Karran will ask the House to discharge a committee which was examining the proposed new law.

During question time, Chief Minister Tony Brown will face a grilling from East Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell, who wants to know what he proposes to do about a gender gap in pensions.

Meanwhile, Rushen MHK Juan Watterson will ask Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne to acknowledge 'significant communications failures' in his department.

The most significant legislation to be considered is the Representation of the People Amendment Bill, which aims to set up strict new controls on election spending by candidates.

The chief minister will ask the House to suspend standing orders so the bill can pass through the clauses stage, as well as its third reading, during the sitting.

You can hear live coverage of question time from the House of Keys on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency, from 10am.

In the Legislative Council, criminal justice legislation is down for its second reading, and members will consider amendments from the House of Keys to the Breastfeeding Bill, and the Road Traffic and Highways (Miscellanous Amendments) Bill.

The Legislative Council sits from 10.30am.
