Overhaul must be gradual says MHK
New laws aimed at tackling discrimination in the Island have come into force this month.
The first phase of the Equality Act - hailed by Tynwald as a landmark piece of legislation - became law on Monday (1 January).
It will take a further two years to fully implement the rules, which outlaw discrimination in all its forms.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas says it will bring the Island in line with the UK, which introduced similar laws decades ago.
However, he says it is being brought in gradually for a reason:
Missed opportunity in inmate's care, inquest finds
Seven arrests made as part of King Gaming fraud and money laundering investigation
Motorists urged to avoid Cooil Road following RTC
Probation for man caught with knife at Sea Terminal
Warning after tea towel tumble dryer fire
Calls for Sarah's Law on Isle of Man
