Hooper's proposals take another step
The MHK whose Private Members Bill seeks to remove the Bishop's vote in Tynwald says he will now start talks with all members of the Legislative Council.
Lawrie Hooper's Constitution Bill was voted through its third reading in The House of Keys yesterday (Tuesday, 30 April).
The vote was 14 for, 9 against.
Mr Hooper says things have now moved forward a stage:
