2 5 th JULY 2016 • TYNWALD The President The Hon Clare Christian BSc was elected as the third President of Tynwald in July 2011, the first woman appointed to this role, succeeding the retiring President Mr N Q Cringle OBE. She presides over sittings of Tynwald in Douglas and the Royal Chapel unless the Lord of Man or a member of the Royal family is present to do so. Madam President has served as a Member of Tynwald for 29 years. The President’s robes are unique in embodying motifs which are significant in Manx culture and history. In the absence of the Lord of Man she along with Mr Speaker, Captions the Acts at the Sitting of Tynwald Court which is held in the Royal Chapel after their promulgation on Tynwald Hill.

The Sword of State The Manx Sword of State, seen on the cover of this programme and by long tradition carried before the Island’s ruler or their representative on , is a remarkable artefact dating back to at least the 1400s. It is a few inches shorter than it would have been originally – thanks, it is said, to the fact that at one stage it was used as a poker by persons unknown. It was sent to the British Museum for cleaning in 1871 “having become foul by misusage”. The sword lies on a table in the of the Tynwald Chamber in Douglas during ordinary sittings throughout the rest of the year. Bernadette Williams has been the official Tynwald Day swordbearer since 1998; she is the first woman in history to carry out the role. The Speaker The Hon Stephen Charles Rodan BSc (Hons) MR Pharm S, Member of the House of Keys for Garff, was elected as Speaker of the House of Keys in December 2006. Mr Rodan was first elected to the House of Keys, as Member for Garff, in 1995.

Prior to becoming a national politician, Mr Rodan served on Commissioners for four years, and for two of those he was Chairman.

The The primary role on Tynwald Day of the Island’s First and Second Deemsters, or High Court judges, is to promulgate any new Acts which have been passed by Tynwald and received during the previous year. They are invited by the Lieutenant Governor, “Learned Deemsters, I exhort you to proclaim to the people in ancient form such laws as have been enacted during the past year and which have received the Royal Assent”. One of them reads the titles of the Acts in English, the other in Manx Gaelic. The First Deemster and Clerk of the Rolls is Chief Justice of the Island’s High Court of Justice, and in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor acts as his deputy. The first written reference to Deemster can be traced back to the early 1400s but the office of Deemster is probably much older dating back to the Norse Kingdom and the origins of Tynwald in the 10th century.

150th Anniversary of Popular Elections On 16th August 1866 Tynwald passed the House of Keys Election Act and the first election was held on 18th March 1867. Voting in 1867 was not universal. The franchise was restricted to males owning real estate worth at least £8 or tenants paying a rent of at least £12 per year. To that extent the reforms of 1866 did not put in place a truly representative democracy. But that year stands out in Manx history as the year when the principle of popular elections to the House of Keys was established. 100th Anniversary of Emergency Promulgation The Acts of Tynwald (Emergency Promulgation) Act, passed in 1916, provided an emergency procedure enabling an Act to come into force on royal assent being announced at an ordinary sitting of Tynwald in Douglas, subject to its being promulgated from Tynwald Hill within 12 months. This procedure soon became the norm and was acknowledged as such in an Act of 1976. In 1988 the time limit for promulgation was extended to 18 months.
