INTRODUCTION 1.1 The film industry is one of the Isle of Man's most high profile marketing initiatives. Since 1995 the Island has built a worldwide reputation for co-financing and co-producing feature film and television dramas. 1 During that time over 90 feature films and TV dramas have been produced here. The advantages the Isle of Man can offer to potential producers include varied scenery and architecture readily accessible within a small area, good support and low costs. The potential advantages of the film industry to the Island include the generation of local spend within the Island's wider economy (for example, the hospitality sector), the creation of job opportunities for Island residents, and the development of film tourism. The industry has benefitted from public investment, rising from relatively modest beginnings in the mid-1990s to what is now a more significant level of investment and strategic use of the Media Development Fund. 1.2 We started looking at this issue in 2008 in the context of an investigation of the management and use of reserve funds in general. We reported on that wider investigation in March 2009 (PP39/09) but concluded that the fund associated with the film industry, the Media Development Fund, merited a separate investigation because of the complexity of the arrangements associated with it. It subsequently came to our attention that the Public Accounts Committee had looked at this issue in 2004 to 2005, although it had not produced a Report on it at that time. 1.3 The Committee did report to Tynwald on a related matter in 2006. Its Report on Island Film Studios and associated matters (PP135/ 06) made 14 recommendations related to the procedures to be adopted by the DTI in considering applications for grants. All the recommendations were approved by Tynwald on 17th October 2006. The present Report includes as a postscript an update on progress with those recommendations. 1.4 This investigation sits within the remit of the Public Accounts Committee as set out in the Standing Orders of Tynwald Court, and in particular within the Committee's duty I This report was completed in July 2010. Following the procedure agreed by Tynwald in July 2006, it was then submitted to the Treasury and Tynwald was notified. The response of the Treasury is at Appendix 2. 1 under paragraph 4.4(1)(iii) of the Schedule to those Standing Orders to "consider any financial matter relating to a Government Department or Statutory Body as may seem fit to the Committee". In the terms of reference which we initially set ourselves we identified a number of issues, which are picked up later in the Report: (i) a 2004 Internal Audit study of what was then known as the Film Fund raised questions as to the sustainability of the Fund in the medium to long term. Now is an appropriate time to follow those questions up; (paragraphs 5.10 to 5.14) (ii) after receiving the Internal Audit Report in 2004 and considering the accounts of Isle of Man Film Limited in 2005, the previous Public Accounts Committee picked up on some other points including succession planning. There could be value in following up on this now to see what has been done; (paragraph 4.17 to 4.19) (iii) the accounts for the fund (page 35 of Appendix 5 of our report on Reserve Funds, PP39/09) and for Isle of Man Film Limited (included within Appendix 7 of PP39/09) show significant income under the heading "recoupment" (09.8 million in 2007/08). There was a critical question as to whether "recoupment" represented real income to the Island from outside investors, as was claimed; (paragraph 3.11) (iv) given the changes in fiscal policy affecting the transfer of revenue funding to reserves and the Media Development Fund in particular, we believe questions should be asked as to how well prepared the fund is to be able to sustain film investment into the future (paragraphs 5.15 to 5.28) (v) we noted the unclear division of responsibilities which existed between Treasury and DTI in respect of this fund which may have obscured respective roles and responsibilities of the two departments; (paragraph 3.19) and (vi) the accounts are complex and we considered that there was potential for that complexity to inhibit transparency and accountability. (paragraph 4.6) 1.5 We had appointed a Sub-Committee in January 2008 to lead our work on reserve funds in general. The Members of the Sub-Committee were Mrs Christian (chair), Mr 2 Henderson and Mr Watterson. Following the conclusion of its work on the wider reserve funds Report (PP39/09), the Sub-Committee recommended to the full PAC that it continue in operation in order to lead work on the Media Development Fund. This recommendation was accepted by the full PAC. Under Standing Order 5.11 of Tynwald Court a sub- committee cannot report to the Court. Accordingly the Sub-Committee reported to the full Public Accounts Committee and this report represents the considered conclusions of not only the Sub-Committee but the whole of the Public Accounts Committee. 1.6 The Sub-Committee met to consider the current investigation on eleven occasions. The Sub-Committee's draft report was considered by the full Public Accounts Committee at four meetings. 1.7 The Sub-Committee took written evidence from the Treasury, DTI and CinemaNX Limited.

  • Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council Responsi
    OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF TYNWALD PARTICULARS OF POST Post: Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council Responsible to: Clerk of Tynwald (but see paragraph 5 below) Responsible for: Third Clerk of Tynwald; Head of Chamber and Information Service; Head of Hansard Salary: £60,780 to £70,834 Closing date: Monday 7th June 2021 BACKGROUND 1. Tynwald is the parliament of the Isle of Man and has unlimited, though not exclusive, legislative competence. It has three Chambers: the 24-member House of Keys, which is popularly elected; the 11-member Legislative Council, which is for the most part elected by the House of Keys; and the 35-member Tynwald Court, comprised of the first two Chambers (referred to as the “Branches of Tynwald”) sitting together. 2. The Office of the Clerk of Tynwald is an organisation of around 25 people with annual net expenditure of around £2 million. (This figure excludes Members’ emoluments.) The Office aims to deliver services of the highest quality to Tynwald and the public, while maintaining a reputation for excellence both on and off the Isle of Man. Despite Tynwald’s tricameral structure, the Office operates as a single organisation providing support to all three Chambers. 3. The Deputy Clerk of Tynwald and Clerk of the Legislative Council will play a pivotal role at the heart of the Office’s senior management team. The postholder will be at the front line in delivering procedural advice and drafting services to parliamentary Chambers and Committees, and in managing Committee inquiries. The postholder will also lead delivery and development across the full range of the Office’s services to Members and the public, exploiting technology to improve efficiency while motivating staff and engaging positively with stakeholders and customers.

  • Tynwald 20Th February 2018
    TYNWALD COURT, WEDNESDAY, 21st FEBRUARY 2018 4. Select Committee on the Functioning of Tynwald – Third Report: Members’ CPD; Lord Bishop’s vote; Members’ pay – Debate commenced The Chairman of the Select Committee on the Functioning of Tynwald (Mr Speaker) to move: That the Third Report of the Select Committee on the Functioning of Tynwald [PP No 2018/0018] be received and the following recommendations be approved: Recommendation 1 The Tynwald Management Committee should be responsible for overseeing the Members’ Continuous Professional Development Programme. Recommendation 2 a. The Lord Bishop should retain his vote. (if the above recommendation is agreed to) b. Any Member of Tynwald who has a right to vote should be under the same duty to exercise that vote as any other Member; this applies to the Lord Bishop. (if the above recommendation is agreed to) c. Any Member of Tynwald who has a right to vote should be under the same duty to attend and count towards the quorum as any other Member; this applies to the Lord Bishop. Recommendation 3 The basic terms of reference of an inquiry into Members’ pay should therefore be: That Tynwald is of the opinion that the Isle of Man Government should establish an independent review to examine and report on the emoluments of Members of the House of Keys and Legislative Council, including all pay and allowances, with recommendations for a structure for salary and any related payments; and that the review should have regard to the following principles: • The salary and benefits must be sufficient to allow anyone to be able to serve in Tynwald; • The salary and benefits must be at a level to attract a diverse collection of community members; • Enhanced executive and scrutiny roles should be recognized; • Any change to the structure for pay and allowances must not result in an increase in overall costs of Members’ remuneration; and • The recommendations of the review should maintain the principle of linking Members’ basic pay to Civil Service salary levels.

  • Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh
    DIRECTOR Dr Carmel McLaughlin Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh Director Dr Carmel McLaughlin Response to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review Phase Two: Preparing for the digital future 4 December 2008 1. Executive Summary The Communications Commission welcomes this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review. The review contained the proposal to merge Border and Tyne Tees news but with separate 15-minute sequences in the main weekday programme for viewers in the Border and Tyne Tees areas and separate late-evening bulletins which would directly affect the Isle of Man (Section 7 and Annex 1 of Ofcom’s review). Following publication of Ofcom’s review, the Commission conducted a public consultation inviting views on proposals to change ITV’s regional news coverage. The issue was reported and debated on the radio, internet and in the Island’s newspapers. In total we received 120 responses from Members of Tynwald, Government Departments, Statutory Boards, Parish Commissioners, Women’s Institutes, Manx Radio and other organisations and individuals from across the Island. The Commission thanks everyone who took time to respond to the consultation and for their considered responses. This submission summarises the responses to the consultation. The Commission, Tynwald and the great majority of respondents to our consultation are of the opinion that viewers and the Island would be better served by the Island’s transmitters switching to ITV Granada rather than being part of the Border/Tyne Tees proposal. The Isle of Man while not part of UK has cultural, economic and social links with the North West of England rather than Border and the North East of England.
