Short question session for Keys

Just six for oral answer

The House of Keys sits on Tuesday morning, with local government reform and work permit regulations on the agenda.

There are only six questions for oral answer and a further five for written answer.

All questions asked are by members who were elected in September.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper kicks off proceedings by asking Treasury Minister Alf Cannan about tenders for government construction work.

That's one of four questions he'll be asking in today's sitting - he's also set to push for answers about the devolvement of government services to local authorities.

Onchan MHK Rob Callister wants to know how this administration will improve transport links in his constituency.

Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly will also be questioned about relaxation of work permits to bridge Island skills shortages, as Middle MHK Bill Shimmins rounds off questions for oral answer.
