Lawrie Hooper says revealing major initiatives, including an AI development office, at the annual conference undermines parliamentary process
A Ramsey MHK has criticised government for unveiling major announcements at its annual conference before presenting them to Tynwald.
Among the reveals were plans for a National Office for Artificial Intelligence Development and Regulation, and the return of the Food and Drink Festival.
But Lawrie Hooper says key policy decisions should come before Tynwald first.
He believes it's a deliberate strategic choice:
MHK wants ‘fully resourced and connected’ Suicide Rapid Response Team
Wind farm plan needs 'clarity' says former chief minister
Private fostering 'far more common' than you might expect says Manx Care
Expenses shouldn't be factor in standing for commissioner position says Andreas chair
