The final sitting of Tynwald this year will start with discussions on finance, fuel charges and footpaths - all subjects which will be raised during question time.

There are 60 questions for oral and written reply with a number, from North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson, 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.

Rushen MHK Juan Watterson wants to know if the Island is bound by reciprocal agreement to charge the new higher rate of air passenger duty, and what efforts are being made to ensure travel to the UK and Ireland remains affordable. On a similar theme, Onchan member Peter Karran will be asking about sea travel and what is being done to oppose the Steam Packet's increased freight charges.

Michael MHK David Cannan has concerns about whether people in public sector housing can afford oil for heating their homes.

There are 17 questions relating to the Langness footpaths row, and later in the sitting the court will be asked to approve a Bill which would create a legally established public footpath on the peninsula for the first time.

Tynwald questions will be broadcast live on Tuesday, starting at 10.30am on Manx Radio's 1360 AM frequency.
