Tynwald to consider report next week
The Island's Manx national party says a report on how Tynwald can improve it's functions doesn't offer 'badly needed' democratic reform.
Mec Vannin spokesman Alistair Kneale says it's good the Lisvane Report will stimulate debate, but any reform should strengthen the Manx government ability to help the Manx people.
A pay review, stopping the Legislative Council from voting on tax policy, and limiting departmental memberships are included among the eleven recommendations set to be consider by Tynwald on Tuesday (20 Jun).
Mr Kneale says his party thinks the proposals don't go far enough:
DOI actively installing mould-preventing devices in its vacant social houses
Tricia Hillas pens letter ahead of LegCo vote
Petition to ban electric shock collars on Island pets reaches 800 signatures
Castletown residents invited to view Buchan School redevelopment plans
