Cannabis Income, Reserves & Road Checks

Medicinal cannabis revenue, government reserves and road maintenance all feature in today’s House of Keys sitting.

This will be alongside updates on the island’s economic strategy and youth access to nicotine pouches.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will ask Treasury how much income medicinal cannabis has generated each year since it became available.

He also seeks a breakdown of government reserves excluding National Insurance, asking how much is held in cash, quoted shares and other liquid assets.

Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson will ask the Chief Minister what has been done since his announcement last September to refresh the island’s economic strategy, and when a new strategy document will be published.

Further questions from Mr Moorhouse cover plans to prevent under‑18s buying nicotine pouches, online booking options for the Manx Integrated Sexual Health Centre, and two queries to Infrastructure on road surface assessments, including The Crofts in Castletown and checks carried out before installing cat’s eyes.

Members will also consider Legislative Council amendments to three Bills: the Financial Services (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, the National Health Service Reform Bill, and the Verification of Entity Registration Bill.
