House sits later this morning

Zero-hours contracts, the disability living allowance and plans for Douglas police station all come under the spotlight in Keys today.

Onchan MHK Peter Karran has six of the 13 questions for oral answer, with LibVan colleague Kate Beecroft tabling another two.

The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Amendment) Bill will also get its third reading, whilst the National Health and Care Service Bill 2016 will get its first reading.

Among Mr Karran's concerns are progress in preparing the Enterprise Scheme and training local people to work in medical jobs to help address the shortfall in workers.

Mrs Beecroft, meanwhile, wants to know if there is to be a review of the entire accommodation market on the Island.

Onchan MHK David Quirk has a question on children walking to schools, while North Douglas member Ralph Peake will ask the Treasury minister if the cost of the proposed extension to Broadcasting House has been agreed with his department.

Meanwhile, the Equality Bill will have its first reading in the Legislative Council, and members will also consider a raft of amendments to the Police (Amendment) Bill and a smaller number to the Road Races Bill.

Keys questions will be broadcast live from 10am on AM1368, online at manxradio.com or via the iPhone and Android apps.
