Examination of witnesses Witnesses: Michel Barnier and Sabine Weyand. Michel Barnier: Welcome once again. You are always welcome. Q2537 Chair: Michel, can I reciprocate on behalf of the Committee? It is very good to see you again. Can I begin by apologising that we had to let you down on the previous date when we were due to meet? We had certain important votes in Parliament that necessitated our attendance. Secondly, can I thank you very much for honouring the commitment you made to us the first time we met, that you would give evidence to the Committee on the record? Because as you are aware, today’s session is being recorded and will be published as an evidence session, so it is a slightly different format from our previous discussions. I understand entirely that you will want to check the English translation of what you said before the minutes are published and we realise that will take— Michel Barnier: Just to check that nothing is lost in translation.

  • CONSOLIDATED REPLY Parliamentary Oversight of Gender Equality
    CONSOLIDATED REPLY of the e-Discussion on: Parliamentary Oversight of Gender Equality April 2016 CONSOLIDATED REPLY_iKNOW Politics e-Discussion: Parliamentary Oversight of Gender Equality LAUNCHING MESSAGE Spanish French Arabic Parliaments are key stakeholders in the promotion and achievement of gender equality. Parliamentary oversight processes provide an opportunity to ensure that governments maintain commitments to gender equality. While women parliamentarians have often assumed responsibility for this oversight, many parliaments are taking a more holistic approach by establishing dedicated mechanisms and systematic processes across all policy areas to mainstream the advancement of gender equality. The oversight role of parliamentarians is linked to the very notion of external accountability, the democratic control of the government by the parliament, among other bodies. Since gender equality improves the quality of democracy, the parliamentary oversight of gender equality is a key aspect of modern parliaments and a fundamental contribution for the achievement of sustained democratic practices. Against this backdrop and to contribute to the forthcoming second Global Parliamentary Report on Parliament's power to hold government to account: Realities and perspectives on oversight - a joint publication of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) - iKNOW Politics is moderating an e-Discussion on 'Parliamentary Oversight of Gender Equality'. The e-Discussion runs from 25 January - 28 February 2016 and seeks to highlight the willingness and capacity of parliaments to keep governments accountable on the goal of gender equality and ensure parliamentary oversight is gender-sensitive, as well as the opportunities available to both women and men parliamentarians to engage in oversight. One of the main objectives of this e-Discussion, thus, is to find best practices that will help to strengthen external accountability and the consolidation of sustained democratic practices.

  • 1 Gd 2020/0058
    GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’.
