Work permits, local authorities on HoK order paper

Work permits, public transport in Onchan and local authorities will all be discussed in this week's sitting of the House of Keys.

Middle member Bill Shimmins wants to know if the Government plans to relax work permit rules in areas where there are skill shortages on the Island.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, who previously served on Ramsey Town Commissioners, will seek information on plans to reform local authorities, while Rob Callister has a question about transport in his constituency.

There are a total of six questions for oral answer, with no other business on the order paper.

The sitting gets underway from 10am.
