Packed Tynwald order paper revealed

Work permits, Manx Utilities and the Lisvane report all on the agenda

The details of a packed Tynwald order paper have been released to the public, ahead of what's expected to be a busy sitting of the Manx Parliament.

It meets for the first time since the summer recess in just under two weeks time, on Tuesday 17th of October.

Thirty-eight items will be moved on topics bound to spark debate, such as the functioning of Tynwald, work permit reform, and Manx Utilities Financial Plan.

With questions still to come there's plenty for MHK's and MLC's, refreshed by a legislative break, to discuss.

Tynwald will be asked to receive reports on the Services for Children and Young People Progress Review, a structural review of the civil service, and on Manx Utilities long-term Financial Plan.

A report on suggestions for a Living Wage will also be brought forward, whilst Lord Lisvane's recommendations on the structure of Parliament will once again emerge, after being sent to committee. 

Before all this however, the Chief Minister Howard Quayle will deliver his State of the Nation Address.
