Brexit will be the big debate in Tynwald today (Tuesday).

Chief Minister Howard Quayle has tabled a motion calling on the parliament to note the ’ongoing work of the Council of Ministers’ on the implications for the Isle of Man of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.

Mr Quayle’s emphasis on Brexit may, itself, come under scrutiny. Critics, including Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw, have aired concerns that Mr Quayle is using Brexit to avoid having to deal with pressing domestic problems.

As predicted in last week’s Isle of Man Examiner, a scheduled motion, calling for a select committee investigation into the medical use of cannabis products, has been withdrawn.

Clare Bettison, who was due to propose the motion, is a member of Department of Health and Social Care, and the protocol would have been to speak to the department first.

Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson, who was originally due to second the move, will come back with a back a similar motion at a later sitting, possibly to tie with the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment on Drugs and Alcohol being issued by DHSC.

Liberal Vannin member Julie Edge makes good on her promise to try once more bring government efficiency under scrutiny. After a previous motion calling for a full staffing review was narrowly defeated in March, this time she is seeking for a review to cover the management structure.

Members will also be asked to approve a discount on season passes on the heritage railways, after a call for pensioners go be given free travel was rejected.

The question paper is not as heavy as it has been in some recent sittings, but there are still plenty of issues aired.

How much the government spends on taxis for civil servants and consultants is a subject that is likely to attract interest, as is one question asking what can be done to assist with the problem of mobile phone roaming charges for islanders travelling abroad.

Speaker Juan Watterson is, once more, one of the busier questioners. Among several queries, he wants to know what plans the government has for monopolies legislation and how it intends to develop the island’s tourism potential in conjunction with other Celtic nations.

Road and traffic issues make up many of the other questions tabled by a number of MHKs, covering everything from closures to the criteria for disc parking, while other topics range from social media to the appointment of appeal court judges.
