General debate highlights calls for increased representation for younger residents
Tynwald members voiced their support for the introduction of a children's commissioner on the Isle of Man.
Former children's champion Daphne Caine led a general debate on the issue at this month's sitting of the Manx parliament.
The position would have a broader scope than the current champion's role.
Kerry Sharpe MLC was among those highlighting the need for increased representation for younger Manx residents:
Tynwald to revisit rates bill after the election
Proposals paused following first and second readings
'Significant work' needed to reduce people entering criminal justice system
Refreshed Criminal Justice Strategy to go to Tynwald
Third candidate declares for Douglas North
Peter Washington to stand in September's General Election
Tourism professional calls for prisoners to clear footpaths
Ged Power wants to see more done to maintain walking routes on the Island
