House of Keys 18 Mar 2013 Act As a Revising Chamber for Bills ELECTION OF FOUR MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL Procedural 1. Election of four persons to serve as Members of the Legislative Council for a period expiring on 28th February 2018 in place of Mr David Callister; Mr Edmund Lowey; Mr Juan Turner; and Mr Tony Wild. Nominees Proposers Mrs Linda Bowers-Kasch Mr Peter Karran MHK Mr Michael Coleman Hon. David Cretney MHK Mr Geoff Corkish Hon. Juan Watterson MHK Mr Peter Hill Mr Peter Karran MHK Mr Nigel Malpass Hon. Allan Bell MHK Mr Juan Turner Hon. Tim Crookall MHK Mr Tony Wild Mr John Houghton MHK The Speaker: Hon. Members, we turn to the single Item on our Order Paper and this is to elect a person to the Legislative Council for a term expiring on 28th February 2018. There are seven nominations on the Order Paper for the four places. The nominations were all accompanied by statements of qualification and reason and support as required and the papers were circulated to Hon. Members by the Secretary on 28th February. Under the Isle of Man Constitution (Elections to Council) Act 1971, as amended by the Constitution (Amendment) Act 2008, once the elections have begun, they must be completed, though they may be adjourned to the next day once only. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Standing Orders, I have discretion to determine the time at which a sitting of the House of Keys to elect Members of the Legislative Council shall adjourn. Once the elections have been called, no other business may be taken by the House of Keys sitting alone, until the elections have been completed. However, if it appears to me that no progress can be made, I do have power to call for fresh nominations to be made in writing, which triggers a one-month delay and subsequent two-week period, as before. I also have power to suspend this sitting at any time, if this appears useful. I shall first call on each Member to propose the candidate whom that Member has nominated. I shall then call for a seconder to the nomination. Only the proposer and seconder may speak. Under Standing Order 8.3(5) each Member may vote for any one or more candidates up to the number of vacancies to be filled or vote for no candidates. All voting papers completed otherwise are invalid and no vote recorded on them will be counted. Voting is by placing an X in the box of the ballot paper, opposite the candidate you wish to vote for. Under the Act the successful candidate needs no fewer than 13 votes in his or her favour. If, when voting has been concluded, the vacancy remains, I shall call for fresh nominations. As before, we will proceed to a paper ballot in relation to the names on the Order Paper. If it is necessary, I shall then call for fresh nominations for a further round of elections. Nomination of Mrs Linda Bowers-Kasch The Speaker: I now call for nominations and I call on the Hon. Member for Onchan, Mr Karran. Mr Karran: Vainstyr Loayreyder, we are here today to vote for individuals to become Members of our Island’s Legislative Council. In putting forward my nomination of Mrs Linda Bowers-Kasch, I have most carefully considered the primary aims and objectives of the Legislative Council, the skills and experience that, in my most firm opinion we need to vote on here today. To explain upon this statement, I have taken the opportunity to revisit the core functions of the Legislative Council, to give a great deal of thought to what type of skills and experience actually are needed to effectively discharge the responsibilities of the role required of the Council and its individual Members. You may think that this is a process we have already gone through prior to making the nomination. However, I respectfully ask you to stop and consider yourselves, if indeed, this is the reality. It is all too easy for familiarity to allow us to recite the core purpose and functions and over the passing of time the demarcation lines and the areas of remit to become blurred collectively. We now have the opportunity to refresh and realign, where necessary, to elect a Legislative Council incorporating fresh blood, experience in the relevant skills and disciplines. In the primary functions of a modern Legislative Council is to consider and advise on new legislation and to House of Keys 18 Mar 2013 act as a revising Chamber for Bills. It is a prerogative that we have given us, that have significant experience in reviewing legislation with a proven ability to comment and advise upon. The world has changed and has become increasingly global in its outlook. Therefore, it is most important that the impact of legislation and the change be considered from an impact, not just from within the Isle of Man, but also the impact from extra- territorial perspective, believing we cannot ignore the external factors that can significantly influence the wellbeing of our Island and our people. I have known Linda Bowers-Kasch for some time and you may recall that she did stand as a candidate for Liberal Vannin in the constituency of Ramsey, where she lives. In my interactions with Linda I can count on her to provide honest, objective comment and opinion and in situations where that opinion may differ, she will listen to various opinions and provide a considered reason for her own opinion. The prevailing factor is that Linda has the same desire to see fairness and equality of treatment, and that the Island’s overall wellbeing is at the forefront of any decisions made. She is a champion of driving a culture of value for money. Linda has acted as a mentor to individuals and also devised and delivered workshops to motivate, inspire and encourage people that they are able to achieve and progress in life. She firmly believes that people should have the opportunity to achieve, irrespective of their background, financial circumstances and academic proficiency. That achievement should be supported and encouraged and should equip people to be able to do the best that they can. Her full CV is available and has been circulated, but I shall now highlight some of the skills and experiences she has acquired over a long and distinguished career in the finance sector, since commencing in 1973. Starting from the grassroots level with nearly 40 years in the sector, Linda worked her way up to vice president level in the finance world and although various roles and responsibilities, most of which have had an international remit, she is considered to be a subject matter expert in regulatory matters, governance and control. Linda’s overall passion and commitment has been undertaken across the globe in areas such as prevention of terrorism, financial crime, anti-bribery and corruption, and overall good governance is major driver to her, as she believes that these are important issues that impact on society, integrity and the safety of people. Latterly, Linda has successfully delivered a programme of review and change as a senior consultant within a US global financial firm, which she saw her advice and made recommendations upon regulations, legislative requirements, forthcoming changes in overall governance and control against the strategic corporate objectives. This was the consultancy she won with her own company, which gave her added opportunity to raise awareness of the Island and its remit in both the city and the US. Linda believes we should all be ambassadors for the Isle of Man, never missing a chance to promote the Island particularly on our business trips. Much of her career has involved the reviewing of legislation and also supporting the drive and the correct interpretation and implementation. Linda has been a key person in formulating and setting of global policy, capable for implementation across multi-jurisdictional and cultures. Linda is a member of the Institute of Directors and also a member of the Isle of Man Employment Tribunal. It is my firm opinion that within our legislative framework, we must acquire people with the skills that have a proven track record for relevant achievement. Linda clearly has such skills coupled with senior leadership experience. I believe she would be a huge asset to the overall government, via the Legislative Council, if elected. Her commitment to the Island should also be recognised, as she continues to maintain her home here, since 1988, although had many opportunities over the years that could have taken her away permanently. I hope Hon. Members will vote for fresh blood to support our journey through tough economic times and challenges. In conclusion, these are the reasons why I propose and nominate Mrs Linda Bowers-Kasch. The Speaker: Hon. Member for Douglas South, Mrs Beecroft. Mrs Beecroft: Thank you, Mr Speaker, I beg to second. Nomination of Mr Michael Coleman The Speaker: I call the Hon. Mr Cretney, Member for Douglas South. Mr Cretney: Thank you, Mr Speaker. All Members will have received the CV of Michael Coleman. For those who did not already know him, can I thank those Members who have taken one of the two opportunities to meet him, firstly face-to-face and secondly alongside the other six candidates for the election on Friday last. Can I take this opportunity to thank each of them for outlining their policies and answering Members’ questions. Stability is perhaps more important than ever at this time, so I do hope Hon. Members will feel able to support candidates in this election, whatever their views on the future of the Legislative Council.

    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.

Inspiring the Future Isle of Man will be launched with speed dating-style session between those at work and Year 9 students at Ramsey Grammar School. Inspiring the Future is run by the Education and Employers taskforce, a UK-based charity whose partnership board includes representatives of leading industry bodies such as the CBI and those representing education. It is being extended to the Isle of Man free of charge. The scheme helps schools to forge partnerships with employers that provide students with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential, so benefiting the economy. The scheme’s extension to the Island resulted from the Employability Working Group, which was set up to help bridge gaps between school and the workplace in the face of changing economic challenges and growing competition in the jobs market. The working group comprises representatives of the Departments of Education and Children and Economic Development and business and voluntary organisations. It has three priorities: involving employers more directly in careers education; communicating job-related information digitally and enhancing work experience opportunities. Annette Baker, chairman of the working group, is inviting employers and individuals from any profession to take part in the launch event on Monday 13th October from 9.30am to 11.30am.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: library@tynwald.org.im 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’.

  • Planning and Building Control Division Initial Summary Of
    Planning and Building Control Division Initial Summary of Responses Draft Planning Policy Statement Planning and the Economy Initial Summary of Responses - Draft PPS Planning and the Economy Introduction 1. The Draft Planning Policy Statement Planning and the Economy was published in February 2012 as a means to help clarify the policies contained within the Isle of Man Strategic Plan. The role of the Draft PPS is to ensure that there is understanding between all those involved in the planning process as to how the economic benefits of a proposed development will be taken into account in the assessment of planning applications. These benefits will be weighed up against all other material considerations in line with the existing planning policy framework. As such, the Draft PPS does not represent a new policy approach, it merely clarifies existing policy and objectives of the Strategic Plan. 2. This initial summary of responses document provides a brief overview of the consultation process and analysis of all responses received during the consultation exercise. In line with the Isle of Man Government Code of Practice on Consultation (2008; “the Code”), this initial summary has been produced within three months of the closing date of the consultation (consultation closed 4 th May 2012). 3. The Draft PPS was introduced by Minister Cretney, Minister for Infrastructure on 21 st February 2012 in the budget speech in Tynwald, where he stated that he was “publishing a Draft Planning Policy Statement setting out how planning will take into account the issues I have just highlighted in the determination of planning applications and the interpretation of the Strategic Plan” (full speech available at - http://www.tynwald.org.im/business/hansard/Pages/ByYear20002020.aspx ).
