Row over adults accompanying children on ferries will be raised in House of Keys

A row over how many adults have to accompany groups of children on ferries will be raised in the House of Keys this week.

When MHKs sit tomorrow, Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will ask Education, Sport and Culture Minister Daphne Caine about the issue.

The Steam Packet effectively doubled the amount of adults needed to travel with youngsters on its ferries, drawing criticism from a teaching union.

Mr Moorhouse wants to know if the department has spoken to the company about the changes.
