The issues of littering and fly-tipping around the Island will be brought up in the House of Keys next week.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse wants to know how many fixed penalty notices were given out for littering, fly-tipping or disposing items illegally in each of the past five years.

His query will be put to Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister, Geoffrey Boot MHK, for written response when MHK's next convene.

The next sitting will take place in Douglas on Tuesday from 10am.
