Edge calling for time to be extended
Curtailing question time in the House of Keys is undemocratic.
That’s the view of an Onchan MHK who's calling for the time allocated for questions to be extended.

However the Council of Ministers has been accused of using its block vote to stop that happening.
Julie Edge claims it means important issues are being missed:

Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
Progress on autism strategy welcomed
