There are also four questions for the interim health minister

It's not the first time in his administration that Mr Cannan has had to take on a Ministerial role that has been recently vacated.

Julie Edge asks for the amount of pay for top executives and the cost of Manx Care meetings.

Jason Moorhouse wants to know the effect of recent developments on the suicide strategy while ex Health Minister Lawrie Hooper asks about health care provisions suggested to the Council of Ministers but not supported by Manx Care.

There is one question for Mr Cannan in his Chief Minister’s role, on talks about a turnaround plan with Manx Care.

Steam Packet questions range from the costs of modernising the Ben My Chree, freight on Packet boats, the return on using MV Arrow and the impact of recent Packet freight charge changes.

David Ashford and Mr Moorhouse want to know more about the impact of the loss of MiCard, while Mr Hooper asks a question about Ramsey brownfield sites.

Meanwhile Legislative Council will also meet for the clauses of the Statute Law Revision Bill and the final stage of the Public Sector Payments Bill.
