The Chief Minister will be questioned this week about the industrial action involving school teachers on Island.

Howard Quayle MHK will be asked by Onchan MHK Julie Edge what his strategy is to deal with the issue.

Currently, members of three unions - the NAHT, ASCL and NASUWT - are taking action short of a strike due to an ongoing dispute with the Department of Education, Sport & Culture over pay and conditions.

The matter will be discussed when the House of Keys meets tomorrow in Douglas from 10am.
