'Complex but important' bill receives second reading in House of Keys
The justice and home affairs minister hopes making progress on new extradition laws will show the Island's commitment to reviewing and updating legislation ahead of next year's Moneyval assessment.
The extradition bill's second reading was unanimously supported at this week's sitting of the House of Keys.
Jane Poole-Wilson told members the bill aims to establish a clear, transparent and locally operated system, rather than relying on external frameworks.
Moneyval, which assesses compliance in the legal, financial and law enforcement sectors, is due to carry out a review on the Island next autumn.
Minister Poole-Wilson says this bill would support Moneyval's recommendations on extradition:
Post Office to raise letter prices and bring in stamp expiry dates
Conviction of 'key figure' in international organised crime group welcomed
Select Committee outlines potential consequences of removing Bishop's vote
Five fires started deliberately at Manx hospitals in last seven years
