Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne will be quizzed over his department's review of the Steam Packet user agreement in Tynwald on Tuesday.

Michael MHK Alf Cannan is asking the minister if he will make a statement on the progress made since expressions of interest in operating ferry services were invited.

The Department of Infrastructure asked potential operators to register their initial interest by January 7. The user agreement with the Steam Packet runs out in 2020 with both parties having an option to extend until 2026.
