BILLS FOR SIGNATURE The Governor: Hon. members, in addition there are three Bills for signature on the Agenda: the Church Bill, the Administration of Estates Bill and the Recognition of Divorces Bill, and if it is your wish we will continue our business while these are being signed. It was agreed. PROCEDURAL The Governor: Before calling upon the Clerk to lay papers I note, with sadness, Bill for Signature — Procedural T1454 TYNWALD COURT, TUESDAY, 14th JULY, 1987 that this is the last time when we shall be calling upon Mr. Robert Quayle. I have tentatively agreed with my fellow presiding officers, and now seek your agreement as a Court, that we should make our farewells to him off the record during the tea break in the Members' Room and that we should give the presiding officers an opportunity on your behalf to make a farewell on the record as the last item of business that we have in this sitting of the Court, either this afternoon or tomorrow. Is that agreed, hon. members? II was agreed. TYNWALD DAY CEREMONIES - LETTERS RECEIVED FROM H.R.H. THE PRINCESS MARGARET AND OTHER GUESTS The Governor: May I also take this opportunity of congratulating him on the way in which under the hand of the Tynwald Ceremony Arrangements Committee he executed and planned the 1987 Tynwald Ceremonies, which I thought were outstanding. (Members: Hear, hear.) We have had charming letters from Her Royal Highness, from Lord Napier and from the Hon. Jean Wills and from many others — and I know there have been many received in the Court — which make it quite clear that particularly H.R.H. was deeply moved by the Tynwald Ceremony. It was an utterly sincere letter in which she uses the words 'thank you' to us all for revealing the Island to her 'in all its glory', which is a rather lovely thing to say. It is quite obvious that she adored her time with us and was unusually relaxed and at peace while she was with us. THE PRINCESS ROYAL — CONGRATULATIONS. — MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM THE HOME SECRETARY The Governor: Hon. members, I also had a letter from the Home Secretary in acknowledgement of a letter from this Court and from the Government on the occasion that the Princess Royal was given her new title. If you remember, we sent the Queen best wishes and I will just read one paragraph of the letter from Douglas Hurd: 'I have it in command to convey Her Majesty's warm appreciation of these sincere and affectionate congratulations and good wishes and to say that Her Majesty looks forward to the continuation of the close ties between the Crown and the Island which Her Majesty values so deeply'. I apologise for that rather lengthy introduction, hon. members. PAPERS LAID BEFORE THE COURT The Governor: I call on the Clerk to lay papers. Tynwald Day Ceremonies — Letters Received from H.R.H.

  • Notes on Parliaments Visited
    3 Notes on parliaments visited Parliaments studied 3.1 This chapter provides a brief overview of the parliaments studied during the program in order to provide a context for the observations in Chapter 2. The notes are from the perspective of the committee’s interests and do not attempt to provide an overview of the parliaments themselves. There is obviously much more that could be said about each of the parliaments visited, but such comments would not reflect the experience provided by the study program. 3.2 As noted in paragraph 1.6 above, the committee was able to visit, observe and have discussions at the House of Commons and House of Lords in London, the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, the Tynwald in Douglas, (Isle of Man), the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff and the French National Assembly in Paris. The notes on these assemblies reflect information provided during discussions as well as documents provided by our hosts. 3.3 Three main factors influenced the decision to visit the four parliaments in the United Kingdom and one in France: a desire to compare practices and procedures with other parliaments sharing Westminster origins (The House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales); an interest in learning how quite different parliamentary traditions address issues relevant to all legislatures, including scrutinising the Executive, use of parliamentary committees, communicating with the 34 STUDY PROGRAM 2006 public, procedures for conducting formal votes, how parliaments adapt themselves to societal changes (the Tynwald and the French National Assembly in addition to the parliaments in Britain); and time constraints imposed by the need to slot the visit into part of the Easter break (returning in time for the Budget sittings) and the sitting patterns of other parliaments.

  • 1. Introduction
    1.4 Tynwald: a Manx cult-site and institution of pre-Scandinavian origin? http://manxstudies.liv.ac.uk/sm/articles/gb.htm#1 1. Introduction Tynwald is the legislative body and government of the Isle of Man. It comprises the House of Keys, the Legislative Council, and the Lord of Man. [1] Tynwald meets in open-air session once a year on Tynwald Fair Day, held usually on Old Midsummer Day 5 July, [2] on Tynwald Hill at St. John’s, at which (the titles of) laws enacted since the previous 5 July are promulgated in English and Manx Gaelic and any petitions for redress of grievance received. The whole is preceded by a church service in St. John’s Chapel. The proceedings are attended by a fair-like atmosphere, with stall-holders, brass bands, Manx traditional music and dancing, tea and bonnag (Manx soda bread), etc, all of which lend an air of excitement and entertainment to the occasion. Tynwald Hill itself, situated at Ordnance Survey map reference SC28SE SC27758189, [3] is an artificial mound set in four tiers approximately 25m in diameter at its base, some 6m across at the top and 3.6m high (photo 1). It is believed (but not yet proven) to be of considerable antiquity. A broad flight of steps has been cut into the east side, giving access to each of the tiers. Tynwald Hill is linked by a ceremonial pathway to St. John’s Chapel 115m to the east (photo 2). Both the Hill and the Chapel are set within a dumb-bell shaped walled enclosure, around which is an open space used as the Fairfield.

  • Isle of Man Location Geography
    Isle of Man Location The Isle of Man is at the center of the British Isles, in the Irish Sea, at the center, in fact; fifty kilometers from both the U.K. and Ireland. It is closest to Scotland. About three times the size of Washington D.C. the Isle of Man also include smaller islands; the Calf of Man, St. Patrick's Isle, and St. Michael's Isle (also called Fort Island). The latter two are uninhabited, and the Calf of Man, according to a 2006 census, is populated by two. Finally, the Isle of Man has three islets: Chicken Rock, Kitterland, and St. Mary's Isle (also known as Conister Rock). Geography The main island, the Isle of Man, is 572 square kilometers in area at 51 kilometers long and 13 kilometers across, and a coast line of 160 kilometers. The main terrain of the island is two areas of mountains separated by a valley that runs through the central part of the island, between the towns of Peel and Douglas. Snaefell is the highest point, at 2034 feet high. There is no point below sea level on the whole island. At the northernmost part of the island there is a flat plain, to the south it is a more distinct pattern of hills and valleys. The longest river in the Isle of Man is the Sulby River, at 17 kilometers long. Page 1 of 6 Climate Being in the midst of the British Isles, the Isle of Man is also affected by the Gulf Stream, and so, despite its northern latitude, the climate is temperate.

  • Tynwald Day 2016
    Welcome to Tynwald Day The Midsummer sitting of Tynwald Court at St John’s is a ceremony with origins more than a thousand years old. Its central feature is the promulgation of new Acts of Tynwald, which is the final stage in the Manx legislative process. The ceremony is in three parts. It begins in the Royal Chapel with a service of worship at 11am. Then the Members of Tynwald and other participants move to Tynwald Hill where the Acts are promulgated and any petitions are brought forward. Finally the Court returns to the Royal Chapel where the Acts are captioned.
