The independent report into the devastating floods in Laxey last October will be a subject of discussion in Tynwald tomorrow.

Garff MHK Martyn Perkins will ask Chief Minister, Howard Quayle MHK, when the evaluation by independent consultants ARUP will be published.

The severe weather in Laxey on October 1, 2019, caused widespread damage in the area to homes and businesses and sparked a major emergency operation to help residents.

The court is due to convene at Legislative Buildings in Douglas on Tuesday from 10.30am.
