  • Mount Murray Report
    PART C 7. THE ISLE OF MAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT i) Introduction 7.1 The Tynwald resolution of 19th February 2002 required us to look at the government’s handling of various matters. It was therefore incumbent on us to ensure that we sufficiently understood the Isle of Man system of government. To achieve this understanding we asked for and received statements from many politicians, civil servants and others. From these statements, and from the answers to the many questions which were asked of them, we received much relevant information, particularly in respect of the way in which the system worked, and works, in practice. To this information we added the result of our own researching of statute and guidance. We are consequently satisfied that we have achieved a good and sufficient understanding of the Isle of Man system of government over the last decade and more in order for us to approach our remit with knowledge of the relevant contextual system within which events took place. 7.2 Our enquiries have extended to two local authorities and, for this reason, we include a very brief outline of the structure and functions of local government, even though it is not at the forefront of our remit. 7.3 This section identifies the relevant basic elements of the Island’s system of government within which the Department of Local Government and the Environment, including its Planning Committee and its planning office, operates. It is this system which allowed for the irregularities which occurred in the Planning Committee and in the planning office, which went uncorrected during the 1990s, and to which, later, we recommend some changes.

The Department planned initially to review the existing Regulations with the aim of bringing forward new Regulations in 2009 and then to review the Act itself. This was on the grounds that: • new Regulations could be introduced much more quickly than new primary legislation, thus speeding delivery of improvements; and • a significant number of reforms could be achieved through the alterations to the secondary legislation.
