Keys today

by isleofman.com 22nd May 2007
The House of Keys sits for the last time this side of TT today (Tues).

Fourteen questions have been tabled - with subjects ranging from the switch to digital TV to fares on the TT commuter trains.

Two new bills - the Education and Enterprise bills - are brought to the House for the first time.

And there will be close scrutiny of several others at the Clauses stage.

Marian Kenny looks ahead to today's sitting:

Rushen's Juan Watterson will ask what assistance the Manx government will give the public in the transition to digital television.

And he wants to know whether viewers will benefit from all the freeview channels.

There are three separate questions on the commuter trains to Douglas during TT week - two on the ?6 cost of a return ticket; the third on why resident season tickets will not be valid on the additional trains.

Douglas North MHK John Houghton want to know the cost of the recent police satisfaction survey - while Onchan's Peter Karran asks about initiatives to inform young people about sexually transmitted diseases.

After Questions members will consider a raft of ammendments to those bills at the clauses stage - among them the Constitution and Prisoner Escorts bills.
