Policy and reform minister points to equality act
The minister of policy and reform has admitted the Jury Act 'must be changed' to allow older members of society to complete jury service.
Concerns have been raised about the fact that people over the age of 65 aren't currently allowed to partake.
Chris Thomas says following the introduction of equality legislation on the Island, it's about time those rules were altered accordingly:
New Year Honours for six Isle of Man residents
President of Tynwald Laurence Skelly receives OBE
Island enjoyed 'reasonable' summer despite no record-breaking temperatures
Senior meteorologist has been reflecting on the weather over the last 12 months
Head of Ambulance Service 'really privileged' to receive New Year Honour
Will Bellamy pays tribute to wider emergency services and healthcare community
Chief Fire Officer 'overwhelmed' after receiving New Year Honour
Mark Christian hopes King's Fire Service Medal will 'shine a spotlight' on Manx emergency service
