“Transforming Government” programme and has brought forward a number of initiatives designed to help create efficiencies and ensure that we have a modern and purposeful Civil Service. I am delighted that the Commission has expressed an active interest in examining closely the provision for training and development programmes and has met with senior executives on a number of occasions to better understand and assess ongoing training provision. Clearly, a reduction in budgets means that the requirement for focused and relevant training is an imperative and we have sought to ensure that resources are targeted as effectively as possible in this respect. Last year in my foreword the issue of “unacceptable” levels of sickness was addressed following on from comments made by the Chief Minister. I am pleased that this year‟s figures are showing a reduction

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.

  • January 2016 (PDF)
    EARROO / ISSUE 1 | JERREY GEUREE / JANUARY 2016 www.mecvannin.im Robertshaw Pulls Out before Finding the Spot Chris Robertshaw, the former Minister for Policy and Reform noted for disappoint- ingly pulling out ahead of completion, thinks he may now know where things went wrong. Mr Robertshaw had previously indicated that he had evacuated prematurely because other parties involved were taking too long to get there, saying "it was defi- nitely their fault, I mean, other people have told me how good I am, but satisfying these guys seemed impossible". He added "I don't remember hearing any complaints when I was finished with the Sefton, which I assume means everyone was satisfied". With a big election expected to occur in 2016 many have wondered whether a concerned Mr Robertshaw is just saying the things he thinks people want to hear. One reader commented "I think Mr Robertshaw may be worrying about his potential to rise to the expectations of a big election. When I attended the Government's "Big Debate" sessions last year he was obsessed with defending his small government and seemed to get very agitated at even the thought of a big one. Anyway, I figured it's not the size of a man's government that counts but the way he thrusts his policies. I thought he'd at least have the stamina to go for a bit longer when it came to actually performing". Responding to this, Mr Robertshaw said "I'll admit I may have gone soft when con- fronted with the reality of replacing a big government, but the point here is whether my government is running for other people, or is it running for itself.

    BILL HENDERSON Manifesto 2011 For the General Election Thursday 29th September, 2011 Constituency of North Douglas Bill Henderson For the General Election – 29th of September, 2011 Constituency of North Douglas Manifesto 2011 Election message Dear Constituent, It gives me great pleasure to present my latest manifesto, having had the privilege of serving the constituency and the Island for this past legislative term. My manifesto provides a summary of the principle policies and strategies for which I shall be seeking your endorsement in the forthcoming General Election on the 29th of September, 2011. It is a document that recognises and is resolute in the face of the gravest challenges our Island has ever had to face. I believe the policies I propose demonstrate my clear vision and commonsense approach to reaching realistic solutions to the many and varied issues which affect us - in the constituency, Douglas, the Island and internationally. I have moved away from the usual simple leaflet layout and chosen a more in-depth, professional, goal-focused presentation so you can better assess my achievements, commitment and future strategy. I feel it is right that the electorate should have a more meaningful and comprehensive document. My policies cover wide-ranging issues, supported by robust, experience-led and considered actions - essential if I am to serve you as an effective member of the Isle of Man Parliament. Events off-island, in particular the global financial crisis, the ʻUK Double VAT bombshellʼ, worldwide rising fuel prices, the heightened threat of terrorism, and emerging economies such as Asia are having immediate and long-term implications for us all, while freedom of movement within the EU member states is already having an impact on the social dynamics of the Island.

  • Isle of Man Branch Report of the Chairman of the Branch Executive
    Isle of Man Branch Report of the Chairman of the Branch Executive Committee for the period January 2016 to December 2016 Introduction 1. The aims of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association are to promote knowledge of the constitutional, legislative, economic, social and cultural aspects of parliamentary democracy. It does this among other things by arranging Commonwealth Parliamentary Conferences, and other conferences, seminars, meetings and study groups; and by promoting visits between Members of the Branches of the Association. 2. The year 2016 saw many important anniversaries in the Island’s constitutional history. It saw the anniversary of 10 years of voting at the age of 16, 60 years of the revived Right to seek Redress for Grievance on Tynwald Day and 135 years since Tynwald became the first national legislature to give women the vote. It was also the 100th anniversary of Emergency Promulgation and the 150th anniversary of Popular Elections. 3. 2016 was also General Election year in the Isle of Man and saw the retirement of Mrs Clare Christian as President of Tynwald. The Hon Steve Rodan MLC was elected as President of Tynwald and therefore ex officio a Joint President of the CPA’s Isle of Man Branch. Mr Geoff Corkish MLC, Mrs Ann Corlett MHK, Mr Tim Crookall MLC, Mr Bill Malarkey MHK and Mr Bill Shimmins MHK (Ordinary Members) and Mrs Clare Christian (Associate Member) were proposed, seconded and elected to the Branch Executive Committee. I am honoured to have been re-elected as Chairman, albeit now as a Joint President. 4. Following Mrs Christian’s retirement, the Isle of Man Branch was asked to nominate a woman parliamentarian to sit on the BIMR CWP Steering Committee; Mrs Ann Corlett MHK was nominated by the Branch Executive Committee.
