Author of review on Island again
Providing a clearer distinction between government and scrutiny would greatly improve the functioning of Tynwald.
That's the belief of Lord Robert Lisvane, currently on the Island.
He authored a review on the operation of the Manx parliament, and made a series of recommendations on how the system could be improved.
These include limiting departmental memberships and reshaping the role the Legislative Council, all of which will be debated in June's sitting of Tynwald.
Currently only one of the thirty-two eligible Tynwald members are not part of a government department, Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw.
Lord Lisvane says if successful his recommendations would address this issue:
Public Health reports increase in flu-like illnesses
Cabinet Office spent more than £92k on North and West Area Plan inquiry last summer
MHK fears former MHK's meat plant role creates 'transparency issue'
Half of Island's public access defibrillators back in use thanks to charity
