Rising fuel costs, the island’s projected £92m public spending deficit and the future of Loganair flights are among the issues due to be discussed when the House of Keys meets on Tuesday, November 10.

A total of 11 questions have been tabled for oral answer, with several focusing on the impact of increasing fuel prices on businesses and households.

Ayre and Michael MHK Stephen Broad will ask the Treasury Minister Michael Crowe what plans there are to use additional VAT revenue generated by rising road fuel prices to support businesses.

He will also seek an assessment of the impact of fuel surcharges on the competitiveness of island haulage and agricultural businesses compared with their UK counterparts.

Mr Broad will further question Treasury on alternatives to using the Reserve Fund to address a projected £92m structural deficit in public sector spending.

Glenfaba and Peel MHK Katryna Baptist will ask the Infrastructure Minister about reducing vehicle duty to assist the road haulage industry with rising fuel costs.

She will also seek details of plans to prevent sewage being discharged from the public toilets at Peel breakwater.

Fuel costs for households will also feature, with Mr Broad asking what steps have been taken to mitigate rising heating fuel prices.

Middle MHK James Cochrane will question the Infrastructure Minister Jason Moorhouse about whether outstanding issues between Isle of Man Airport and Loganair are preventing the airline from publishing its schedule beyond March 27, 2027.

Other topics include cataract surgery waiting lists, with Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher seeking figures on patients waiting more than 12 months and asking whether external contractors have been considered.

Mrs Faragher will also ask about the number of long-term vacant properties in the island and plans to address the issue.

Meanwhile, Ramsey MHK Juan McGuinness will question Treasury about the Immigration Service’s capacity to carry out checks and monitor sponsors under migrant worker routes.

The sitting begins at 10am on Tuesday at the Legislative Buildings in Douglas.
