Move to exclude upper chamber
Legislative Council members will shortly be asked to consider whether they should be barred from taking part in the election of the chief minister.
The Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill would allow only Keys members to be considered and also says the Keys alone would choose someone for the role, not Tynwald as a whole.
After passing through all its stages in the House of Keys, it will now go on to be considered by LegCo.
The bill's mover, Michael MHK Alfred Cannan, says this may add weight to arguments for change in LegCo:
Health Minister says work is 'underway' on access road to The Roundhouse
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Private members bill regarding Bishop’s vote makes progress
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Disqualification for driver who was three times the drug limit
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
