Various departments will ask to spend a total of ?5.4 million on projects including the Manx Electric Railway and local schools, and some familiar issues are on the first question paper.

Michael MHK David Cannan kicks off question time, quizzing the chief minister about a planned wind farm in the northwest of the Island, and asking whether tide power would be a better option.

South Douglas MHK Bill Malarkey and Peel MHK Tim Crookall have questions for the chief minister about the Manx Electricity Authority and the ?414,000 loss made by its showrooms.

Untaxed and uninsured vehicles are on the mind of Rushen MHK Juan Watterson, who will ask both Home Affairs Minister Adrian Earnshaw and Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne about the problem.

Liberal Vannin Party Leader Peter Karran will ask questions about the Island's new bus timetable, while the politician who led opposition to the new system, North Douglas MHK John Houghton, will call for a select committee to look into the issue.
