Nomination Papers From: Baker, Tim (MHK) Sent: 26 February 2020 09:15 To: Roger Phillips Cc: Alfred Cannan; Ray Harmer; Geoffrey Boot Subject: Nomination for the election to Legislative Council to be held on the 12th March 2020. Importance: High Dear Roger I am writing to propose Mrs Carole Lillywhite of [Address redacted] for candidature at the forthcoming election to the Legislative Council. Mrs Lillywhite’s nomination will be seconded by Mr Cannan, with Mr Harmer and Mr Boot acting as Assentors to the nomination. Carole’s contact details are as follows: [Contact details redacted] Email: Phone: I first met Carole on a beach clean in Kirk Michael around 4 years ago and since then have had extensive with her and husband Peter, both in their personal capacities and in Carole’s role with Michael Commissioners. I have been very impressed by the contribution they have made to Michael parish and more widely to the Island as a whole. The attached document, which combines Carole’s CV and Personal Statement, outlines her career background in both Health Care and Education in the UK, and her contribution within local government and the wider community in the Isle of Man. Carole is committed to building community. She has demonstrated that as both member and chair of Michael Parish Commissioners, in which she has been very active. She has also been innovative and worked collaboratively in introducing new initiatives – for example establishing Michael Young Commissioners in conjunction with the village primary school. In addition Carole is passionate about the environment, nature and the need for sustainable development. Carole and Peter’s award winning development of a nature reserve and visitor centre at Sartfell is a very tangible expression of this commitment. It also brought widespread national exposure to the Island and our Biosphere, through winning the award for Sustainable Development in last year’s Grand Designs programme on television. I believe that Carole has very useful skills and experience which would enable her to make a significant contribution as a Member of Legislative Council. I am also confident that she would approach the role in a considered, thorough and professional manner and that her motivation is to make a contribution for the wider benefit of the people of the Isle of Man. As such I have no hesitation in proposing her for the forthcoming election. Yours sincerely, Tim TIM BAKER MHK for Ayre & Michael CURRICULUM VITAE CAROLE LILLYWHITE In applying for a place on the Legislative Council, I bring skills, experience and a temperament that I feel are highly suited to fulling this position. The Legislative Council’s role to scrutinize primary legislation, applying checks and balances, and to invite testimonies from experts and authorities to inform the members of the House of Keys, is a necessary adjunct to supporting Honourable Members in carrying out an ever increasing and demanding workload. As you will notice from the following curriculum vitae, I feel that I can add value to Honourable Members in delivering their objectives in the Programme for Government and in the Treasury’s focus on long term funding for Health & Social care and Climate Change legislation. 1969-1976: Lady Margaret’s Grammar School, London – I achieved 11 O’levels, 1 A’level 1977-1980: 2+1 State Registered Nurse training at St George’s Hospital 1980: I qualified as a State Registered Nurse. I was appointed as a Staff Nurse then as a Sister in Charing Cross Hospital Accident and Emergency. As a State Registered Nurse, I developed many personal and professional skills that included working under stress with time constraints; understanding and relating to people who presented themselves in a stressful and emotional state; examining and reviewing treatments and outcomes that required a logical and detached view with confidence. I was also able to solve problems for some patients that required an innovative approach for unusual, social and medical situations. I managed, as a Ward Sister, a short-stay unit within the department regarding which policy was to monitor, assess and refer or discharge minor injuries and the elderly in order to give relevant, direct, immediate care by social services, physiotherapy and district nursing. I consulted and liaised with many agencies from Social Services, Health professionals, Medical/Surgical Consultants and have managed a staff of eleven nurses which included elements of human resource management; staff rotas and fund raising. 1986-1990: I was appointed as Office Administrator at MBS, a Personal Computer sales and services company. I was also responsible for liaising with customers, providing after sales services. 1990 to 1999: During this period I was raising a family and assisted, as a volunteer, in the running of a pre-school and eventually as a salaried pre-school assistant. 1999: I joined St Clement Danes School, Hertfordshire as receptionist and MIS administrator, working on attendance, school records, personnel, and also acted as a temporary exams officer. 2005: I then joined Swakeleys School in Hillingdon, as MIS Manager, creating and running the timetable; improving pupil progress with assessment data; exams management and attendance management. 1 | P a g e CURRICULUM VITAE CAROLE LILLYWHITE 2009 – I joined SBS in Milton Keynes. I became a consultant to many types of schools using all my MIS established skills and experience extending to pupil annual reporting and pastoral processes. I also consulted on change management regarding the role of support staff to give the senior management more time to concentrate on Teaching and Learning and improving outcomes for all pupils. This included behaviour management, monitoring and increasing attendance, creating timetables and reporting to parents. I have presented to Headteachers and Local Authority Education Departments on all aspects of school systems administration, including lesson planning, managing schemes of work, pupil mentoring and lesson cover. 2010: I worked as a self employed consultant on change management in schools and promoting pupil progress 2012/13: I came to the Isle of Man, after a short holiday, being drawn to this Nation by its people, its history and particularly its natural heritage. Settling in Kirk Michael, I was keen to immerse myself in village life and applied successfully for a position on the Board of Commissioners for the Parish of Michael. I spent a year as the Chairperson. Right from the start I organised a public meeting to meet residents to find out what our priorities should be during our term of office. It was well attended. Our successes include newly refurbished toilets; replacement play equipment; a refurbished disused railway line and car parks. All projects the residents wanted and approved of. My own particular success was to start a Young Commissioners Programme at our local school, Michael, where I have encouraged both pupils and the Headteacher to use this platform to highlight local issues and for me to gain feedback on our own projects relating to the younger members of our village. This feedback is then reported back to the whole Board. This open access to local authority works well and targets the specific groups who would not necessarily have representation, or their views heard. I am very keen to broaden the appeal of Government and all its possibilities to young people of today, to provide the leaders of tomorrow. As a member of Michael Heritage Trust, I am currently taking oral histories from residents and former pupils of Michael school, which will be stored digitally for future study by members and the community. I am a member of Manx Heritage Trust and help out with open days and craft days e.g. Snow Queen in Castle Rushen. I am also a member of Manx Wildlife Trust and Manx Ornithological Society. Both my husband Pete and I created a company called Sartfell Education and Tourism Ltd to establish and develop an outstanding resource for local residents, children and other visitors. My personal life has equally been rewarding on this magical Isle as both my husband and I have created an award winning, near zero carbon and energy efficient home. We have completed the first stage of our development of a nature reserve rewilding the uplands back to its original form; protecting acid bog areas; planting trees and planting and restoring natural flora and fauna. We have increased the reserve’s biodiversity and continue our programme of reducing our carbon footprint. We have provided a safe area for hen harriers, buzzards and kestrels; butterflies, bees dragonflies and native plants to live and prosper. The innovative draft Manx Biodiversity Strategy encouraged us to develop this project and achieving the Status of UNESCO Biodiversity Nation determined us to continue. We have recently commenced the construction of a Visitors’ centre for educating school children and eco-tourists. Our refurbished traditional Manx Cottage will enable visitors including those with mobility difficulties to stay and enjoy all that is on offer. Our investment in the Isle of Man will be used as a centre for excellence regarding sustainable living, conservation, natural history, education, and confirms that I have firmly put my roots down on the Island and I wish to give back to the community in the best way I can. 2 | P a g e CURRICULUM VITAE CAROLE LILLYWHITE I am currently serving on: Michael Board of Commissioners Municipal Association Western Traffic Liaison group Michael Strategic Planning Group Manx Erosion Group I provide feedback from Friends of Michael School meetings and Young Commissioners I was previously on Northern Parish Refuse Collection board Public engagements on behalf of Michael Commissioners: Tynwald Day – as Chairperson Lieutenant Governor’s Garden Party – as Chairperson Manx Wildlife Trust Charity launch concerning lifetime wills at Lieutenant Governor’s residence Professor James Curran’s Climate Change consultation 3 | P a g e .

  • Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’
    Investment Migration Council (IMC) Position Paper on TAX3 Committee Report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ March 2019 Investment Migration Council (IMC) cautions MEPs against phasing out industry responsible for vital investments Key Ask: IMC calls on MEPs to table a plenary amendment to the TAX3 Committee report supporting better industry standards and regulation and removing references to phasing out the citizenship and residency-by-investment industry The IMC recognise the significance of the European Parliament’s TAX3 Committee report ‘Financial Crimes, Tax Evasion and Tax Avoidance’ in promoting discussion around the Investment Migration sector. Open discussion and scrutiny are the first steps in addressing the public concerns about Investment Migration and improving standards across the board to ensure the risks of abuse are mitigated. However, the IMC opposes the TAX3 Committee’s call for the Investment Migration sector to be phased out since these programmes are responsible for vital investments in EU Member States. The IMC calls on MEPs to table and support a plenary amendment (refer to IMC Proposed Amendments to TAX3 Committee Report.pdf) deleting direct references to banning or phasing out citizenship-by- investment and residency-by-investment programmes, essentially pioneering categories of immigration and instead supporting the implementation of improved standards and possible regulation of the sector. Investment Migration Council, 16 rue Maunoir, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland 1 investmentmigration.org European Commission Joint Transparency Register Secretariat ID: 337639131420-09 Investment Migration is a €20 billion industry responsible for significant investment, job creation and societal development Investment Migration accounts for billions of direct and indirect revenues in some smaller European states, as noted by the International Monetary Fund in its 2015 publication “A Passport of Convenience” as well as individual annual Country Reports.

  • 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.

We both gave a commitment during the election to stay in touch, part of that commitment revolved around hard copy newsletters as we are aware that not everyone has access to websites, Facebook and Twitter. Programme for Government One of the most important tasks for any new administration is to put together a Programme for Government for the next five years. In the past this has been a lengthy process, sometimes taking up to 18 months. After the election in September and our appointments to the Council of Ministers, the Chief Minister was determined we echo his sentiments by putting together a programme as quickly as possible but as inclusively as possible. Consultation with all MHKs started almost immediately and there were invitations for participation in the preparation for the programme to interested external parties including businesses. As a result a 100 days after the election the Programme for Government 2016 – 2021 was approved unanimously by Tynwald. The programme is available on this link www.gov.im/media/1354840/ programme-for-government.pdf and it is not our intention to go into great detail in this newsletter but there are three strategic objectives which are overarching aims of the Council of Ministers in the long term and approved by all members.

  • 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 ).

  • 2016 General Election Statistics Summary
    2016 General Election Results It must be born in mind that, as each voter had two votes, which they may or may not have used, the only sure reflection of a candidate's support is the percentage of the potential vote in the constituency. This transpired to yield the same order of support when expressed as a percentage of the entire electorate This tends to endorse boundary reforms but the fact that Chris Robertshaw (Central Douglas) was elected with 42% of the most popular LOSING candidate's vote, shows that the system is a long way off being right Ordered by result as % of electorate Robertshaw Name Votes % of votes cast % of electorate Result Factor Dr Alex Allinson 2946 53.19 % 51.45 % Elected 0.22 Juan Watterson 2087 36.19 % 38.32 % Elected 0.30 Ray Harmer 2195 41.91 % 37.29 % Elected 0.31 Alf Cannan 1736 42.25 % 35.54 % Elected 0.32 Martyn Perkins 1767 36.35 % 34.86 % Elected 0.33 Tim Baker 1571 38.23 % 32.17 % Elected 0.36 Chris Thomas 1571 37.31 % 32.13 % Elected 0.36 Geoffrey Boot 1805 34.46 % 30.67 % Elected 0.37 Bill Shimmins 1357 33.54 % 30.53 % Elected 0.38 David Ashford 1219 32.07 % 27.79 % Elected 0.41 Carlos Phillips 1331 32.39 % 27.25 % 0.42 Howard Quayle 1205 29.78 % 27.11 % Elected 0.42 Ralph Peake 1177 30.97 % 26.84 % Elected 0.43 Lawrie Hooper 1471 26.56 % 25.69 % Elected 0.45 Rob Callister 1272 28.92 % 25.46 % Elected 0.45 Kate Beecroft 1134 36.01 % 25.22 % Elected 0.45 Daphne Caine 1270 26.13 % 25.05 % Elected 0.46 Andrew Smith 1247 25.65 % 24.6 % 0.47 Paul Craine 1090 26.94 % 24.52 % 0.47 Laurence Skelly 1212 21.02
