The independence of the Isle of Man's legal system from political interference is one of the topics down for discussion during question time in Tynwald today (Tuesday).

Michael MHK David Cannan has a question for the attorney general about how much the government is currently being sued for.

There are 18 questions for oral answer and five more for written reply.

Also due to be dealt with by Tynwald this month is a plan to build bungalows for the elderly in Jurby, at a cost of ?750,000.

Economic Development Minister Allan Bell will make a statement on the number of high net worth individuals on the Island, and new bye-laws for Sulby Claddagh will be laid before the court.

There is full coverage of this month's Tynwald on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency, from 10.30am.
