The Island's Education Minister will be quizzed on assistance for children with additional needs this week.

Dr Alex Allinson MHK will be asked by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper in the House of Keys what is in place to ensure children with additional needs get adequate support whilst in education.

Mr Hooper also wants to find out what routes are available to parents to make sure this support is received.

The topic will be discussed when politicans reconvene for the latest Keys sitting in Douglas on Tuesday from 10am.
