Meanwhile, in a separate query, Mr Hooper will ask Chairman of the Office of Fair Trading, Martyn Perkins MHK, what plans there may be to bring in changes to the legal measures for alocohol sales locally.

Both questions will be heard when the House of Keys meets tomorrow, with the session expected to get underway from 10am.
