UK peer advocates bicameral Tynwald
A UK peer tasked with reforming the Manx parliament says he supports the principle of the Legislative Council.

Among his 11 recommendations are redefining the upper chamber's role - increasing its diversity, ridding it of sitting MHKs, and blocking members from voting on matters of tax or in chief minister's elections.
But Lord Lisvane says he generally supports the Island's bicameral structure:
