Lawrie Hooper says revealing major initiatives, including an AI development office, at the annual conference undermines parliamentary process
A Ramsey MHK has criticised government for unveiling major announcements at its annual conference before presenting them to Tynwald.
Among the reveals were plans for a National Office for Artificial Intelligence Development and Regulation, and the return of the Food and Drink Festival.
But Lawrie Hooper says key policy decisions should come before Tynwald first.
He believes it's a deliberate strategic choice:
Dog wash machine planned for promenade
Businesses can bloom if people support local
Manx Care seeks to reassure patients over remote GP appointments
Passenger alleges wall of Liverpool Ferry Terminal damaged
