MHKs face a busy session in the House of Keys this morning, with 15 questions for oral answer, three for written reply and two bills up for discussion.

Liberal Vannin party leader Peter Karran has eight questions, many of which concern the runway extension being built at Isle of Man Airport.

Transport Minister David Anderson faces three of Mr Karran’s questions, while Agriculture Minister Phil Gawne will field two.

Other questions cover topics such as Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander, TT toilets at Hillberry and wind and tidal energy.

Jason Roberts reports (text, below, from attached audio file):

After a Manx Radio Perspective programme interviewed MEA chairman Quintin Gill, he will face a question from East Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell about the authority’s policy on renewable energy.

North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson wants to know whether the Island can have a version of a UK law informing parents about paedophiles living in their area, and his fellow constituency MHK John Houghton will ask whether the Department of Tourism and Leisure will put toilets at Hillberry during the TT festival.

In terms of legislation, the Council of Ministers Amendment Bill, sponsored by South Douglas MHK Bill Malarkey, gets its first reading, while Rushen MHK Quintin Gill will guide his bill banning female genital mutilation through the clauses stage.

The sitting is due to start at 10am, and there will be full, live coverage of question time on Manx Radio's AM 1368 frequency.
