Is there any record of the proportion of Manx meat used in school meals?

Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson will put that question to Education, Sport and Culture Minister, Graham Cregeen, when the House of Keys sits tomorrow.

He will also ask Health and Social Care Minister, David Ashford, if there is a record for the amount used in hospital meals.

In both his queries for written response, Dr Allinson also wants to know if there is a policy in place in each case to prioritise Island produce.

The session gets underway in Douglas at 10am.
