Shadow cabinet members were invited says Rodan
There was no snub of the UK Labour party from the Tynwald Day guest list, according to Tynwald President Steve Rodan.
He says senior members of the shadow cabinet were invited to appear at the ceremony, which takes place on Friday next week, but were unable to attend.
The full list of Tynwald Day guests has been published and includes MPs from both the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties.
Representatives from the parliaments of Norway, Iceland, Scotland and the Cayman Islands will also attend the ceremony at St John's.

Mr Rodan says the lack of Labour politicians this year was by no means a deliberate omission:
Southern Pool board welcomes assurances over site's future
Looneys of Ramsey to close
Future of Belfast flights 'precarious' due to low passenger numbers
Ministers to meet with LVA to discuss hospitality concerns
Fine for Douglas man caught with cocaine in car park
No one hurt in Coranny car blaze
