The percentage figure has been put on record in the case of Gibraltar, for example, and so I am curious to know what that equivalent figure is for the Isle of Man, as I am sure that the Minister must have an idea. My department’s best approximation of the percentage of UK e-Gaming that is transacted through Isle of Man operators is between 6% and 7%. This figure has been derived using data from interviews with the largest of the Isle of Man’s operators during the Impact Analysis on the Place of Consumption Tax performed earlier in the year. I apologise for the delay in replying to the Honourable Member’s request which unfortunately was overlooked at a time when there were changes in staff within the Department.

  • Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto
    Manifesto Liberal Vannin Party National Manifesto Liberal Vannin Manifesto Dear Voter I am pleased to present the Liberal Vannin Party Manifesto which has been developed by our Party in recent years as the problems with our Government have been getting worse. I am delighted that we are contesting nine constituencies in this election and in my constituency of Onchan I am joined by Zac Hall making the number of Liberal Vannin candidates ten in all. I have been engaged in politics on the Island for over 30 years and I am delighted with the values, skills, and experience of all the Liberal Vannin candidates. With your support, we can face the national challenges head-on, bring about democratic reform and protect our prosperous and caring society. Each of our candidates has developed a manifesto to reflect the interests and challenges of their particular constituency. But at this election we have all been surprised, and pleased, that most voters are much more concerned about national issues rather than the issues on their doorstep. We have therefore developed this manifesto to address the national issues that are country is facing and I commend it to you. Yours Peter Karran Liberal Vannin Party Leader Liber Bringing Politics Back to the People LIBERAL VANNIN PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT There is a widespread feeling of disappointment in our politicians: we need change. If the same politicians are elected it won’t change - more of the same gets more of the same, and that isn’t good enough for the Isle of Man. A Liberal Vannin Government will get a grip on spending and international affairs, and involve the public with the difficult choices ahead to build on our success and secure our future.

  • 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.
