Steam Packet statement due at Keys sitting

Chief minister to make statement and face questions

Chief Minister Howard Quayle will make a statement on the Steam Packet report published at the end of last week at today's sitting of the House of Keys.

Mr Quayle admitted it showed "mistakes were made", "we didn't get everything right" and government "weren't as joined-up as we should have been".

The report was called for after what was termed a "difference of opinion" over the need for Manx-based crew to self-isolate when off duty.

The 94 page report from Stephen Hind of Treasury Audit won't be the subject of a debate but members will be able to question the chief minister on his statement.

This will be delivered after an urgent question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse on the capacity of the call centre dealing with people not wanting to complete the census online and why the lines weren't open before letters arrived at people's homes.

There are then 17 questions on a wide range of topics.
