Final Tynwald sitting of 2008

by isleofman.com 14th December 2008
Finance, fuel charges and footpaths dominate the final sitting of Tynwald of 2008.

All are being raised on the question paper with some spilling over to the order paper.

There are 60 questions for oral and written reply, many focusing on the United Kingdom review into offshore financial centres and the contribution the Isle of Man has been invited to make to the proceedings.

Peter Karran wants to know about sea travel and what's being done to oppose the Steam Packet's raised freight charges.

And Michael MHK David Cannan has concerns about how people in public sector housing are able to afford oil for heating their homes.

Later in the sitting, the court will be asked to approve a Bill which would create a legally established public footpath at Langness for the first time. The process which brought about that recommendation is the focus of 17 questions.

Tynwald will be broadcast live on Tuesday from 10.30am on Manx Radio AM 1368.
