UK peer advocates bicameral Tynwald
A UK peer tasked with reforming the Manx parliament says he supports the principle of the Legislative Council.
It's ahead of a key debate in Tynwald next week over what should be done about the report, by Lord Robert Lisvane.
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:
Ramsey Swing Bridge 'a key line' for businessesÂ
Protecting farmers from impact of climate change 'a no brainer'
Dogs to be allowed on Douglas Beach year-round as part of council trial
Manx language choir to perform at Royal Irish Academy
