By Rob Pritchard @rpritchard9

Unit prices and legal measures for alcohol on Manx shores will be discussed by MHK's this week.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will quiz Minister for Home Affairs, Graham Cregeen MHK, on the matter by asking what plans Mr Cregeen has for introducing a minimum unit price for alcohol.

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.
