Supporting those living on their own during lockdown will be up for discussion between politicans tomorrow.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will seek answers from Chief Minister, Howard Quayle.

He wants to find out what plans the Council of Ministers has to introduce support bubbles and other support mechanisms to help single-person households deal with the challenges of the current circuit-break.

Mr Moorhouse's question will be heard at the court session which is expected to get underway tomorrow from 10.30am.
