Would legislative sittings be shorter if House of Keys and Tynwald questions weren't broadcast on Manx Radio?
East Douglas MHK Phil Braidwood thinks so, pointing out that order papers for both sittings used to be far shorter before they were put live to air.
Mr Braidwood (pictured) understands some politicians feel they need to be heard asking questions on behalf of their constituents.
But he feels some of the issues raised could be dealt with in a much more low-key way:

Working hard 'no longer enough to afford to buy a home'
Treasury writes off £340,000 in benefits overpayments in three years
Manxman to return to service following repairs
Discussions ongoing over meningitis B vaccine rollout
Health minister apologises for confusion over ambulance centre funding
