Although this document is reporting on the policy objectives of the previous Government as contained in the 2006 Government Plan, that is the period between April 2006 and April 2007, nonetheless since the General Election in November 2006 many of the policies of the previous Administration were either in development or about to be delivered and as a consequence, to ensure a smooth transition such matters had to be progressed by the new Government. By its very nature therefore the 2007 Annual Report is in effect the final report on the progress of the policies of the last Government. I am conscious that Departments and Offices across Government have been working to a set of previously agreed priorities and it is my intention that the aims and objectives contained in the 2007 Government Strategic Plan which will be submitted to the October 2007 sitting of Tynwald, will be integrated into the business planning process and will start to appear in individual Departmental, Board and Office plans from April 2008. The previous Administrations vision was “to build and maintain the high quality of life enjoyed by of the people of the Island” and as a consequence developed its policy priorities to support that vision through initiatives under the six Government aims: Economic progress, Social Well-Being, Quality Environment, Sound Infrastructure, Good Government and Positive National Identity and it is on those six aims that this Report concentrates, together with the individual reports from the Departments, Boards and Offices of Government and specifically reporting on the 237 Actions contained in the 2006 Government Plan. I would put on record my thanks to all members of Government, officers and our working partners within the private sector, for their commitment and the invaluable work that they have undertaken which has continued to develop the Island providing many opportunities and thus secured and improved the quality of life of our people. There is still much to do, and no doubt there will be many challenges ahead for us all, perhaps the greatest of them all will be recognising that the Island cannot afford to stand still if we are to sustain the economic growth of the past decades and thereby continue to secure our future. To succeed, whilst recognising our unique way of life, we must continue to provide the climate, which encourages and nurtures both existing and new business opportunities; success will enable us to ensure that the benefits of growth are felt by all within our community. Hon J A Brown MHK Chief Minister 7 PART I: GENERAL OVERVIEW 1. THE ECONOMY Overview 1.1 The Isle of Man is currently into its 24th consecutive year of economic expansion. 1.2 National income accounts for 2005/06 revealed real growth in output for that year of 5.9%. Between 1999/00 and 2005/06 the output of goods and services in the economy as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) has expanded by an average of 5.7% per annum. In per capita terms, the accounts show a continuation of the trend for Isle of Man national income to increasingly exceed that of the United Kingdom and the European Union. It is now at 113% of the UK figure and 125% of that of the EU15 (the 15 Member States which constituted the European Union until 2004). 1.3 A key aspect of Government’s economic policy, as reinforced in the Government Plan and the Economic Strategy and addressed in the ‘Economy 2014’ report, is the further diversification of

  • Mount Murray Report
    PART C 7. THE ISLE OF MAN SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT i) Introduction 7.1 The Tynwald resolution of 19th February 2002 required us to look at the government’s handling of various matters. It was therefore incumbent on us to ensure that we sufficiently understood the Isle of Man system of government. To achieve this understanding we asked for and received statements from many politicians, civil servants and others. From these statements, and from the answers to the many questions which were asked of them, we received much relevant information, particularly in respect of the way in which the system worked, and works, in practice. To this information we added the result of our own researching of statute and guidance. We are consequently satisfied that we have achieved a good and sufficient understanding of the Isle of Man system of government over the last decade and more in order for us to approach our remit with knowledge of the relevant contextual system within which events took place. 7.2 Our enquiries have extended to two local authorities and, for this reason, we include a very brief outline of the structure and functions of local government, even though it is not at the forefront of our remit. 7.3 This section identifies the relevant basic elements of the Island’s system of government within which the Department of Local Government and the Environment, including its Planning Committee and its planning office, operates. It is this system which allowed for the irregularities which occurred in the Planning Committee and in the planning office, which went uncorrected during the 1990s, and to which, later, we recommend some changes.

The Department planned initially to review the existing Regulations with the aim of bringing forward new Regulations in 2009 and then to review the Act itself. This was on the grounds that: • new Regulations could be introduced much more quickly than new primary legislation, thus speeding delivery of improvements; and • a significant number of reforms could be achieved through the alterations to the secondary legislation.
