Oil, cycling and diabetes feature in today's HoK

Cycling to work, oil costs and diabetes - they're just three of the topics which will be discussed in the House of Keys today.

Nine questions have been tabled for oral answer and two for written ahead of this morning's sitting. 

North Douglas MHK David Ashford wants to know why one million pounds has been put in the Land and Property Acquisition Reserve. 

He'll also quiz the Infrastructure Minister about how much oil the Energy from Waste Plant is burning and how much this costs. 

Ayre and Michael MHK Tim Baker is calling for statistics on the number of people with diabetes in the Isle of Man - he also wants to know how many sufferers are obese. 

The Chief Minister will also put forward a motion asking for MHKs to be able to sit in the Old House of Keys on March 14th - it's part of celebrations to mark 150 years of democratic elections. 

The sitting gets underway at 10am.
