Author of review on Island again
Providing a clearer distinction between government and scrutiny would greatly improve the functioning of Tynwald.
That's the belief of Lord Robert Lisvane, currently on the Island.
He authored a review on the operation of the Manx parliament, and made a series of recommendations on how the system could be improved.
These include limiting departmental memberships and reshaping the role the Legislative Council, all of which will be debated in June's sitting of Tynwald.
Currently only one of the thirty-two eligible Tynwald members are not part of a government department, Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw.
Lord Lisvane says if successful his recommendations would address this issue:
Chief minister thanks residents for attending CoMin roadshows
Changes at prison after deaths, department says
Manx nature "isn't just for those who enjoy the outdoors"
No current plans for Sarah's Law on the Isle of Man
Regulator finds Manx Telecom not in breach of obligations following incident that affected 999 calls
