    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.

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

  • (ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People
    The Use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to Support Independent Living for Older and Disabled People Report prepared by: Dr. R.G.Curry Mrs. M. Trejo Tinoco Mr. D. Wardle Date: October 2002 Request for further copies of this report and any other correspondence should be addressed to Dr. R.G. Curry. [email protected] Abstract The use of technology to support independent living for older and disabled people is mentioned explicitly in many recent Government policy documents. The main purpose of this report is to make the reader aware of the range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based activities which can promote the independence of older and disabled people and help them live in their own homes. This is achieved by reporting on activities across a wide range of fields including policy, industry, research, housing, health and social care. The report develops the concept of “building blocks” of ICT-based activity. From an analysis of this current activity and particularly on how it has developed since a previous report, a number of lessons emerge. This information is used to make suggestions for a national infrastructure for service delivery and to provide guidance on local implementation. The report concludes by making recommendations for the development of the use of ICT, telecare and new electronic assistive technologies to support independent living. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.
