When Tynwald sits, Douglas South MHK Claire Christian will ask When medicinal cannabis will be available on prescription; and if the Minister will make a statement.

In 2020 government said it'll spend more than half a million pound as it looks at changing the Island's medical cannabis laws.

Former Treasury Minister Alf Cannan revealed £550,000 will be spent developing a legislative framework in 2021.
