Varied question paper for House of Keys sitting

The Sefton Group, Solway Harvester and drug testing will all be discussed in the House of Keys today.

There’s eight questions for oral answer of which Onchan MHK David Quirk is asking six.

He wants to know more about the Enterprise Act, the car park bought as part of the Sefton Group bailout and whether there is a master plan for Douglas.

He’ll also quiz Infrastructure Minister David Cretney on how he voted on the Sefton deal and whether he will now be conflicted in applying planning rules to the Sefton Group, Palace Hotel and Parkinsons Ltd.  

Away from the Sefton, Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer will query why the Solway Harvester is still in Douglas Harbour and the Home Affairs Minister will be asked about using the seized assets fund to introduce a drug testing strategy for hair.

The sitting will start at 10am.
