    4. Collective responsibility – Statement by the Chief Minister The President: Item 4. I call on the Chief Minister to make a Statement on collective responsibility. Perhaps we – The Chief Minister (Mr Bell): I will speak quickly, Madam President! The President: No, it’s fine. I was just making sure they were not confining you to five minutes, but they have moved the card. The Chief Minister: Madam President, the Council of Ministers has welcomed the opportunity to review the current system of collective responsibility and, in accordance with the resolution passed at the March sitting of this Hon. Court, it gives me pleasure to report now on the outcome of Council’s review today. I think it is important from the outset to be clear about what the Council of Ministers was asked to do. The resolution did not question the importance of collective responsibility as a central principle of good government; rather, it sought to investigate alternative systems for making its enforcement more open, transparent and democratic. It implied, therefore, that more could be done to improve the operation and use of collective responsibilities. Since the March sitting, the Council of Ministers has fully considered this matter in some detail on two separate occasions, based on a comprehensive report which has been circulated to Hon. Members for information, prepared by the Minister for Home Affairs, who Hon. Members will recall seconded the original motion. I would like to place on record mine and the Council of Ministers’ appreciation of the work carried out by the Minister to this end.

  • Rule of Law : the Backbone of Economic Growth
    Rule of law : the backbone of economic growth (A lecture delivered by Deemster David Doyle at the Oxford Union on 17 July 2014 as part of the Small Countries Financial Management Programme) Introduction “By this Book and the Holy Contents thereof and by the wonderful Works that GOD hath miraculously wrought in Heaven above and in the Earth beneath in Six Days and Seven Nights; I David Charles Doyle do swear that I will without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice, execute the Laws of this Isle justly betwixt Our Sovereign LADY THE QUEEN and Her Subjects within this Isle, and betwixt Party and Party as indifferently as the Herring Backbone doth lie in the midst of the Fish. So help me God. And by the Contents of this Book” That was the judicial oath I first took in 2003 when I was appointed Second Deemster and again in 2010 when I was appointed First Deemster. I am sharing it with you this evening because it embodies the essentials of the rule of law. Lord Hope, the former Deputy President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, was kind enough to refer to the Manx judicial oath in the chapter he contributed to Judge and Jurist Essays in Memory of Lord Rodger of Earlsferry (2013 Oxford University Press) at pages 75-76. Justice must be delivered according to the law, without surrendering to any improper influences and delivering equal treatment to everybody, “without respect of favour or friendship, love or gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or malice”.

  • Biographical Sketches, 1852-1875
    : BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 1852—1875. HARRIET MARTINEAU. NEW EDITION, WITH AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. bonbon: MACMILLAN & CO. 1885. PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. THE Four new sketches by which this edition has been enriched are those of SIR JOHN Herschel, Sir Edwin Landseer, Barry CORNWALL, and Mrs. Somervillk They ap- peared in the Daily News, and the publishers are indebted for them to the kindness of Mr. J. R. ROBINSON of that journal. The singular auto- biographical fragment with which the volume opens was placed by Miss Martineau in the hands of the proprietors of the Daily News in 1855 for publication immediately on her death. It appeared as it was originally written, twenty- one years later. August, 1876. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. In issuing a Second Edition of these " Sketches," it is natural to express something of the gratification which their reception has afforded me. The inclination is all the stronger from the most cordial sympathy having been expressed in regard to the matter I have most at heart,—the true principle of Biographical delineation. Considering how natural, and therefore general, is the disposition to believe and say everything good of the recently dead, I could not have anticipated the extensive appreciation which has attended my endeavour to discharge my duty in the way which I have always believed to be right ; and this agreement with me on the principle of thorough sincerity in the portraiture of public men, affords me a deeper satis- faction than any literary success can yield. Between, confusion of thought on the one hand, and unchastened feelings on the other, it is no wonder if a large propor- tion of readers fail to apprehend the purpose and cha- racter of Biographical portraiture altogether.
