28 questions for Tynwald members

Tynwald sits tomorrow - with a bumper crop of questions from members.

There are 28 in total, with 21 for oral answer and another seven for written reply.

They cover everything from horse trams to police budgets, and almost half come from just one member of parliament.

North Douglas MHK David Ashford is due to ask a total of 12 questions during tomorrow's sitting, while Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson has four and his constituency colleague Lawrie Hooper has three.

Mr Ashford has queries about tidal energy, school meals, waiting times at Noble's Hospital and the Department of Infrastructure's maintenance of pavements.

Meanwhile, Mr Hooper's questions include asking Treasury Minister Alf Cannan if he'll freeze water rates, sewerage charges and electricity prices.

Of the 28, there are three questions from Legislative Council members - including a request from Tim Crookall to Fisheries Minister Geoffrey Boot to make a statement about King scallop fishing.
