Start set for February next year
The Freedom of Information Act will come in gradually across Government, starting early next year.
The roll-out will start in February next year with full implementation two years later.
An Independent Information Commissioner will oversee its operation. And along with a number of exemptions, the Act won't go back further than the start of the present administration, in 2011.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says the gradual rollout is for practical reasons:
John Wannenburgh: 'Commitment, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty'
Tributes following the unexpected death of Douglas North MHK
Manx Utilities 'deeply saddened' by death of chairman
Wannenburgh praised for 'exceptional' leadership
"Tynwald will be a less colourful place without John" says president
Watterson describes Wannenburgh as 'devoted' to constituents
Douglas North MHK pays tribute to 'amazing friend'
Wannenburgh had 'biggest heart of anyone I've ever met' says Ashford
