The latest so called 'legal high' drug to make headlines in the United Kingdom comes under the scrutiny of Tynwald this morning.

North Douglas MHK John Houghton will ask Health Minister David Anderson what his department is doing to outlaw 'Sparkle'.

The drug has been featured in the UK press after mephedrone was banned.

Other topics on the order paper for the April sitting include public sector pensions, the Reciprocal Health Agreement and pay as you go mobile phones.

There are a total of 41 items on the question paper, 27 for oral answer and 14 for written reply.

Among other things ministers will be asked about a new bail hostel, inspection of the Island's probation service, and the possible removal of 24-hour GP cover.

Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan will suggest the government opens an office in Brussels to improve the Island's relationships within Europe.

There is full coverage of the April Tynwald on Manx Radio's 1369 AM frequency, from 10.30am.
