Can Boot crush flower's power?

The Island's national flower, a toxic weed, will come under the scrutiny of Tynwald next week.

Cushag, which is also known as ragwort, is a bright yellow flower that's poisonous to livestock such as horses.

In a special summer sitting of Tynwald next Tuesday, Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will ask Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Geoffrey Boot about it.

In particular, he wants to know Mr Boot's department's policy on removing Cushag.
