Pinewood Studios deal to dominate Tynwald questions

Tue, 10 Jul 2012

It’s the final sitting of Tynwald this week before the summer recess and there’s a packed agenda.

There are 33 questions down for oral answer and a further 22 that require a written response.

One of the issues that will dominate question time is the Pinewood Studios deal, with several members seeking further details and assurances.

One member who has a number of queries down is Michael MHK Alf Cannan.

He’ll also ask about coastal erosion at Kirk Michael and economic issues, including how much support the government gives to the different sectors.

Rushen MHK Laurence Skelly wants the Chief Minister to make a statement about independence.

Items on the order paper this month include the purchase of a new diesel engine for £350,000 and the development of a new hotel on the former bus station site in Douglas.
