Lawrie Hooper weighs in on Standing Orders Committee recommendations
Improving the functions of government committees should be part of 'bigger conversations' according to a Ramsey MHK.
Concerns were raised by a number of Tynwald members after the Standing Orders Committee made multiple recommendations which would see MLCs retain seats on committees whilst elections are ongoing.
If re-elected, they would take back their seat a month after by default.
Lawrie Hooper says Tynwald lacks control over them:
Gov't considering ban on smartphones for under-16s in schools
Mountain Road closure for pre-TT preparations
Thresholds for first time buyers schemes need addressing, says commissioner
'Specialist training' for teachers delivering Sex Ed classes
Lack of resources impacting charities registering with AG
Ramsey Community Hub to install new bench made out of felled cherry tree
