Questions about airport parking charges look set to dominate Tynwald when it sits next week.

The Department of Infrastructure announced sweeping changes to parking, with a 50 per cent rise in the cost of parking for up to two hours.

When the court sits, Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will put four questions on the issue to the Island's Chief Minister and Infrastructure Minister.

Douglas South MHK Claire Christian will also ask one question of Infrastructure Minister Chris Thomas about the changes.
