Questions will kick off this morning with Michael MHK David Cannan asking about the Chief Minister Tony Brown’s response to the recent inquest involving a TT rider and two spectators who died during last year’s Senior Race Day.

He’ll also ask Treasury Minister Allan Bell what the Isle of Man will get out of recent UK tax hikes on beer, wines, spirits and cigarettes.

The Island’s lifeboat services will also be discussed when North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson asks Transport Minister David Anderson about the DoT’s proposals to take over operations from Liverpool Coastguard.

And John Houghton MHK will ask Home Affairs Minister Martyn Quayle whether he has any evidence the public is demanding a Tynwald Ombudsman.
