School snow closures to be debated in Tynwald

Questions about school closures during bad weather will be raised in the House of Keys next week.

Education Minister Daphne Caine will be quizzed by Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Tim Glover about delays to announcing closures because of snow this week, while his constituency colleague Jason Moorhouse will quiz her on delayed updates.

Meanwhile Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask her about how the closure decisions are made, and Onchan member Julie Edge wants to know more about the decision-making process.

The House of Keys is due to sit from 10am on Tuesday, January 13 in Legislative Buildings in Douglas.
