Follows recent 'upswing' in requests
The Speaker of the House of Keys is clamping down on the number of urgent questions being tabled.
Juan Watterson says it follows a recent ‘upswing’ in requests for immediate information.
This week he made a new ruling which fine-tunes the criteria which a question must fall into.
Mr Watterson says matters must relate to very recent or imminent events or developments:
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
Curbs on nicotine products to be discussed by LegCo next week
Farmers 'feeling the squeeze' more than ever says MNFU
Global events, routes to market and export costs among issues
MLC given leave to introduce bill to tackle gazumping and gazundering
Practices are 'annoying' for some and 'crippling' for others
Media Isle of Man 'investigating' after 560 newspapers found dumped
