The Treasury Minister will be questioned this week on his commitment for supporting jobs.

In the House of Keys next week, Alf Cannan MHK will face a question for written reply on the matter from Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know following Mr Cannan's commitment to support up to 1,000 jobs and take the Island to a greener future in the July budget update, how the minister will achieve this and what progress has been made in the last three months.

MHK's will convene for the next sitting of the Keys in Douglas tomorrow from 10am.
