Last Keys sitting before summer break

The House of Keys sits this morning - for the last time before parliament's summer recess.

MHKs have tabled ten questions for oral answer, with none for written reply.

Three new laws are due to get their first reading, with another up for its second reading and one more for its third.

They'll cover topics including police detention, dogs and freedom of information.

North Douglas MHK David Ashford has four questions, about Belmont Hill, taxi prices on Bank Holidays, civic amenity sites and building regulations.

Ayre and Michael MHK Tim Baker will ask about green business loans from the Department of Economic Development and the proposed corporatisation of the Post Office.

Meanwhile, Onchan MHK Julie Edge will query how much the government's gas bills cost and what checks the Department of Economic Development does on hospitality for its events.

It's the last Keys of the parliamentary year - the House will next sit in October.
