Tuesday, 27 June 2023 07:06

The House of Keys will sit this morning, with questions about Ronaldsway Airport and proposed new laws regulating vapes.

Members will gather in Legislative Buildings in Douglas from 10am, and will discuss five proposed laws and eight questions.

MHKs will quiz ministers about Ronaldsway's runway closures, oil and gas exploration off the Manx coast and a Braddan education company which is due to shut down next month.

Among the Bills being discussed is one to crack down on vaping - with a new age limit of 18 for buying them.
