The last sitting of Tynwald before the summer recess gets underway this morning.

Members face a packed order paper and a session which could go on for three days.

Issues for debate range from compensation payments to nuclear test veterans to new parking facilities at Ballakermeen High School.

There will be funding requests for major government schemes, including the IRIS project, a new control tower at the airport and a health centre at the old Noble's site.

There will be a statement on the footpaths at Langness and the preservation of the Island's war memorials.

Before that members will deal with a question paper with 31 items.

There will be full coverage of the sitting on Manx Radio AM 1368 from just before 10.30am.
