Tynwald to consider eleven proposals
The Leader of the Isle of Man Green Party says the Legislative Council needs to have its role 'clearly defined' by Tynwald.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday's (20 June) parliamentary debate on the Lisvane report, Andrew Newton, says having members of a body designed to scrutinise government be a part of it is a major issue.
Tynwald will consider eleven proposals designed to improve its functions - these include limiting departmental memberships, barring sitting MHKs from becoming MLCs, and granting more power to committees.
Mr Newton says there needs to be a clearer distinction between government and scrutiny:
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
'Really special', says charity as historic furniture returns to Island
Government 'supporting' Strix after announcement of Ramsey factory closure
