Yours sincerely Roger Phillips Enc. E-mail: [email protected] Post Lectraanagh: [email protected] CV – PAUL BECKETT – Legislative Council Advocate Paul R. Beckett M.A., M.St. (Oxon.) Personal statement I believe that I have the professional skills and experience, the maturity and the strength of personality to carry the heavy responsibility which membership of the Legislative Council brings with it. On a professional level, I have over thirty-five years’ experience as a lawyer, both within the international private banking and fiduciary services industries and in private practice. First trained at leading “magic circle” City of London Solicitors Simmons & Simmons, I qualified as an English Solicitor in 1981 and as an Isle of Man Advocate in 1990. I am also a non- practising Solicitor in Ireland and in Northern Ireland. I am an experienced diplomat, having been on the staff of the European Patent Office in Munich in this capacity, where I worked in English, German and French; languages which I still use professionally. I was the Honorary Representative of the Isle of Man Government in Switzerland during my time as a Senior Vice President of Deutsche Bank in Geneva. In my capacity as Chairman of the Financial Services Tribunal, Collective Investment Schemes Tribunal and Data Protection Tribunal I am called upon to exercise quasi-judicial authority; and am a member of the Solicitor Judges Division, Law Society of England and Wales. My academic work extends over five decades. I graduated from Worcester College, Oxford University in 1978 with First Class honours in Jurisprudence, being awarded my Master of Arts in 1982. I am also a member of New College, Oxford University and completed a Master of Studies in International Human Rights Law in 2014. I have been widely published. From my time as Chairman of the Legislation Committee of the Isle of Man Law Society I have taken a keen interest in the work of Tynwald, and in recent years have on a voluntary basis assisted a number of Members in their promotion of and commentaries on new legislation. Most recently I co-authored the report of the Isle of Man Law Society on the draft Equality Bill.

    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.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 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’.

  • Report on Consultation Findings Cover.Pub
    Council of Ministers Report on Consultation Findings on Election Candidate Funding April 2011 Foreword by the Chief Minister The matter of transparency and fairness within the House of Keys election process was first raised during the Douglas East by-election held in May 2010. For the first time in my memory, a public debate emerged about the source of election funding which discussed the apparent limitation of the legal framework in terms of transparency of donations and expenditure incurred by candidates themselves or on their behalf. Council has been conscious of the tight timescale to enact any legislative changes however, since that time much work has been undertaken to consider and progress this matter. Firstly, a panel of three independent reviewers was appointed to look into this matter and they asked the public for contributions. Both the Governance Committee, which is a standing committee of the Council of Ministers, and the Council of Ministers itself, reviewed the recommendations and then publicly consulted on the proposals. All this was done with a view to ensuring that improvements are put in place before the General Election which will be held on 29 September 2011. Conscious that time is now of the essence if we are to achieve the passage of the Bill through the Branches and allow time for Royal Assent, before announcement of the same to Tynwald by no later than July 2011, Council has decided to promote a Bill which focuses on achieving only the legislative change that is key to dealing with the transparency issues at this stage. This consultation feedback report proposes that a formal post General Election review is undertaken to deal with the remaining proposals and any new issues which arise.

Now, more than ever, we require experience and dedication to protect the future stability of our Island. I hope you will find enough in this manifesto to believe that my experience is worthy of your support for the next five years. Yours faithfully, About Me I am a 51 year old Manxman.

  • Rob Callister
    HOUSE OF KEYS GENERAL ELECTION THURSDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2016 Rob Callister A Manifesto for a changing Island Rob Callister An MHK for Onchan and for a changing Isle of Man The time is right for an injection of new and fresh thinking MHKs who will stand up to the challenges and the uncertainty that the Isle of Man must overcome over the next five years. 2 Dear Constituent, As I outlined in my recent letter of introduction, I really believe that the General Election being held on Thursday 22nd September 2016 is a decisive moment in the Island’s history. With the UK voting to leave the European Union, the time is right for an injection of new and fresh thinking MHKs that will stand up to the challenges and the uncertainty that the Isle of Man must overcome over the next five years. This Island clearly needs national MHKs with the leadership, vision and motivation to step forward to ensure that the right decisions are made, both locally and internationally, on behalf of the people of Onchan and the wider Island population. Since May 2012, I have built up considerable working knowledge of both Central and Local Government, their many policies and procedures, as well as the Isle of Man’s primary and secondary legislation systems, and I genuinely feel that I can hit the ground running if elected. This manifesto outlines some of the issues I have heard on the doorsteps from Onchan residents and some of the potential solutions and opportunities which I envisage for the next Manx Government to overcome people’s concerns and strengthen our Island’s position in a rapidly changing world.
