Busy sitting of House of Keys

It’s a busy sitting of the House of Keys today with 31 questions on the agenda.

Five of those have been re-tabled by South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft following her absence from the House last week due to illness.

She will quiz the Treasury and Social Care Minister about the Pinewood Deal and ATOS Healthcare which is carrying out assessments on people on incapacity benefits.

Economic Development Minister John Shimmin faces questions on the business incubator and the Chief Minister will answer questions about the appointment of a temporary attorney general.

Rushen MHK Laurence Skelly will also ask the Education and Children Minister to make a statement on priorities for further and higher education following the recent tuition fee announcement.

Today’s House of Keys sitting gets underway at 10am.
