DTL under fire again over TT entertainment

by isleofman.com 23rd June 2009

The entertainment provided by the Department of Tourism and Leisure for TT 2009 will be raised during question time in the House of Keys and Legislative Council today.

Michael MHK David Cannan will ask if the Council of Ministers was satisfied with the arrangements made for visitors and Eddie Lowey, MLC, has similar questions in the upper chamber.

Mr Lowey is particularly interested in the success, or otherwise, or the concerts at the Villa Marina, and wants to know the total loss to the DTL.

There are further questions on why the Gaiety Theatre wasn't used for any of the entertainment, and who was responsible for the total lack of street entertainment in Douglas.

Back in the House of Keys, North Douglas MHK John Houghton will ask the minister for health and social security when he plans to announce a strategy for dealing with the scrapping of the Reciprocal Health Agreement with the United Kingdom.

The idea of making it compulsory for all motor vehicles to display an insurance disc will also be discussed, as will the cost of promoting the Isle of Man film industry at the festival in Cannes.

There's also a question on the numbers of beef cows exported from the Island.

The House of Keys sits at 10am, and there will be full coverage of question time on Manx Radio's AM 1368 service.

The sitting of the Legislative Council starts half an hour later.
