New bill to have first reading later this year
A domestic abuse campaigner on the Isle of Man, wants to see strangulation seen more seriously in law.
Tamasin Wedgwood has recently returned from a domestic abuse conference in Wales which was led by survivors.
A new bill designed to better deal with such crimes is set to have its first reading in Tynwald this October or November.
One aspect of abuse is strangulation, which Ms Wedgwood says she's been campaigning about for some time:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Changes to come into force in April 2026
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Government's asking for feedback on proposed changes to election process
Customs and Excise office to relocate
