An update on potential job cuts within the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure will be given in the House of Keys next week.

North Douglas MHK Bill Henderson will ask whether 22 posts are still at risk in the Public Transport Engineering Section.

Mr Henderson will also ask Minister David Cretney why he hasn't released the staffing review document to Tynwald members, and for an update on overtime payments for staff working on the railways.

Earlier this year, Mr Henderson revealed that workers had been warned their jobs were at risk by moving a matter of urgent public interest in the House of Keys.

Since then, workers and union representatives have campaigned for the Department to find savings elsewhere.
