Free TV licences for over 75s and free school meals are among the items on the agenda for politicians today.

They'll be covered in today's House of Keys sitting which gets underway this morning, as well as cancer patient waiting times and gas bills on Manx shores.

In total there are 16 oral questions and 15 for written reply for members to consider, whilst the Climate Change Bill, Justice Reform Bill and Competition Bill will all get their first readings.

The latest Keys session is expected to start in Douglas from 10am.
