Call for MHKs' votes to be made public
Continued secret ballots are proposed on Legislative Council elections - does the public need to know who their elected representatives have voted for?
Douglas East MHK Clare Bettison says they do - she's putting an amendment forward to have a proposal by the Standing Orders Committee quashed.
Today (Tue) the House of Keys will debate the 'Fourth Report for the Session 2016-2017 - Elections to the Legislative Council''.
Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson, Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper, and Manx law specialist Professor Peter Edge all agree the vote shouldn't be hushed up.
Miss Bettison says she promised her constituents transparency:
More than 3,000 jobs added to economy since September 2021
Review of income thresholds for public sector housing
Firearms officers deployed to incident near Laxey
A step into the modern era for social security
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
