International travel to and from the Isle of Man will be brought up in the House of Keys this week.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK, Jason Moorhouse, will question Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, on the subject when the court convenes for its latest sitting tomorrow.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know what actions have been taken in readiness for the Island being placed by nearby jurisdictions on 'green lists' for foreign travel.

Currently, the UK has 14 nations on its green list including Portugal, Iceland, Gibraltar, Australia and New Zealand.
