Allinson pleased with bill progress
A bill which will reform abortion legislation in the Isle of Man has passed another important hurdle.
Yesterday (24 April) it passed through the clauses stage in the House of Keys.
There was much among members debate about the wording of certain sections of the bill, including the issue of safe access or 'buffer' zones outside clinics.
Ramsey MHK Dr Alex Allinson, who brought the bill forward, says sorting out how these areas would work has been key:
Bird flu warning after outbreak in Yorkshire
Cases discovered on farm in East Riding
Sexual Health Centre temporarily closes for move
Will reopen in new location next week
Rising university fees push more Manx students to consider studying locally
UK fees are set to rise by a little under £300, despite Labour's pledge to abolish them
HMRC names Isle of Man firm in tax avoidance scheme
The UK tax office has issued a 'stop notice' as a result
