  • 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.

  • Manifesto: of John Hanson Candidate for Malew and Santon, in the House of Keys Election of 2011
    Manifesto: of John Hanson candidate for Malew and Santon, in the House of Keys election of 2011. Helping to give the people “TRUE” Freedom to Flourish Personal details: Age 54, Married to Glenda and living in Santon. I have three sons and a daughter and can often be seen walking in and around our parish and beyond with our family dog Monty. During my travels I come across many like-minded residents, who like myself are both disillusioned and upset with the general direction life on this beautiful Island is taking. I would therefore like to present myself for election in the forthcoming general election, with the aim to protect our life style and encourage a return to more traditional values. History: I have lived on the Island for over forty years during which time I successfully ran a small licensed tourist establishment in Douglas for over twenty years. With my involvement within this business now on an advisory nature I feel that I have the time and commitment necessary to allow me to devote my time and energy to the people of Malew/ Santon and the Island as a whole. The Future: If elected, to help guide the Island to a strong independent future, encompassing a variety of tried and tested fields, such as tourism, finance and farming. To encourage all Island residents to play that vital role within our economy,thereby maintaining pride and respect in the whole Island. KEY POINTS. 1. To encourage Government to examine the need for all future major capital expenditure programs, and if need be offer a system of referendum to the Manx people, ( the Richmond Hill improvement being just one which has caused inconvenience and hardship to users of the A5- our premier road link between Isle of Man Airport and Douglas thus being the gateway to at least 50% of all arrivals to our Island), at the end of the day will it prove to be value of money or just another miscalculation of our needs? 2.To campaign for leaner, fitter Government departments capable of providing the best possible levels of service within the confines of its budget.
