Keys sitting today

by isleofman.com 30th October 2007
The House of Keys sits for the last time this month, today.

Fourteen questions have been tabled for oral answer, on issues ranging from the Freedom to Flourish campaign to the Steam Packet's profits.

Michael MHK David Cannan has noted the absence of Freedom to Flourish references in the government's strategic plan and will be asking if the slogan now been discarded as official policy.

He will also question the use of a hangar at Jurby to store raw sewage, fearing it could discourage investment in the industrial estate.

Bill Henderson will take up the cause of those waiting for orthodontic treatment, with a question for the health minister.

Meanwhile, Peter Karran will ask the transport minister for the Steam Packet's turnover and proft figures, and he'll go on to ask whether recent sales of land owned by the company are to be reinvested for the benefit of passengers.

The Agriculture Bill is down for first reading, the Insurance Bill has reached the second reading stage and the DTI's Enterprise Bill will be considered in detail at the clauses stage.
