The House of Keys faces a long day today, with a 20 item question paper followed by 35 pages of proposed amendments to three bills.

Topics to be covered in the 16 questions for oral answer include planned changes to public sector pensions, the Treasury's ability to cope with a recession and the possibility of another linkspan being constructed for non Steam Packet traffic.

There are a total of 25 amendments - to the Companies, Social Security and Education Bills - all in the name of Onchan MHK Peter Karran.

The majority of the changes would involve the insertion of new clauses, although in the case of the Education Bill members will consider changes to the legislation as drafted.

The sitting gets underway at 10am, with live coverage of question time on Manx Radio's AM frequency, of 1368.
