Further attempt to go to Tynwald
Garff MHK Daphne Caine will ask Tynwald next week to take note of a student petition asking for a small number of Syrian refugees to be homed on the Island.
Mrs Caine wants a select committee to be established to look at all the pros and cons before any decision is taken.
Labour peer Lord Dubs, himself a child refugee who fled Nazi Germany, believes the Isle of Man has a responsibility to do more.
Mrs Caine has asked Tynwald to do this before, and denies it's a case of bringing the proposal back until she gets her own way:-

'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
Manx Radio to 'formally investigate' complaint from veteran broadcaster
Temporary ambulance station established at Castletown Coastguard Station
Owners advised to keep pets out of riverĀ
