APPOINTMENT OF BOUNDARY COMMISSION — QUESTION BY MR. KERMEEN. The Goveror: We now turn to the Question Paper. Question number I. I call on the hon. member for West Douglas, Mr. Kermeen. Mr. Kermeen: Your Excellency, I beg to ask the Chairman of Executive Council:— Will you initiate action—as outlined in paragraph 45 in the report received by this hon. Court on 22nd April 1980 — for the appointment by the Governor in Council of a Appointment of Boundary Commission—Question by Mr. Kermeen. T1032 TYNWALD COURT, APRIL 14, 1981 Boundary Commission of five persons, not being members of Tynwald, to the end that the provisions of section 1 of the Representation of the People Act 1951 as amended by sections 1 and 5 of the Representation of the People Act 1956 be reviewed and legislation for a desirable and equitable amendment thereof be presented to the Branches? Mr. Irving: Your Excellency, I regret that the answer to the hon. member is no, sir. In view of the failure of the Representation of the People (Redistribution of Seats) Bill to receive a second reading in the House of Keys, I consider that no useful purpose would be served in initiating the action as proposed by the hon. member at the present time. I believe, too, that since it would require legislation in the House of Keys, and the second reading of the Bill I have referred to failed on 16th December last year, Standing Orders would prohibit the introduction at the moment of further legislation. I would like to say that personally I support the proposal of a Boundary Commission very strongly, and would hope that before long some action could be taken. Mr. Kermeen: Just one supplementary, Your Excellency? Would the hon. Chairman of Executive Council keep under review, in view of the increasing disparity, as to the population between the seven constituencies electing to the House of Keys? Mr. Irving: Yes, sir, with pleasure. BRITISH MIDLAND AIRWAYS — WITHDRAWAL OF APEX FARES — QUESTION BY THE LORD BISHOP. The Governor: Question number 2. I call on the Lord Bishop. The Lord Bishop: Your Excellency, 1 beg to ask the Chairman of the Isle of Man Airports Board:— Will you— (1) Please indicate the reasons for the withdrawal of the Apex fares by British Midland Airways for travellers from the Island from the beginning of April where the return journey is made within a week — not staying over a Sunday? (2) Convey immediately to this company the deep concern of this hon. Court that this concession is no longer available? (3) Indicate what steps his Board is taking to ensure the cheaper fares for travellers can be obtained from either British Island Airways or from some other company which could be granted the franchise? The President of the Council: Your Excellency, during the past winter British Mid- land Airways have operated an advance purchase return fare on its routes to and from the Isle of Man. The reservation retrictions applicable to this fare were that bookings had to be made at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the outward journey, and were available only on the non-stop or through flights of British Midland. Full payment for the ticket had to be made at the time of reservation and the ticket was valid for the maximum stay of one month. No restriction was made on the return journey because the company was endeavouring to generate additional winter traffic. However, in answer to part (1) of the question, since 1st April 1981 the airline still offers the advance purchase return fare but because of the summer traffic expected and the necessity for the airline to increase its revenue - that is the important part—the necessity for the airline to increase its revenue during the period, it has imposed a restriction on the validity of the ticket by stipulating that the return journey is not permitted prior to British Midland Airways—Withdrawal of Apex Fares—Question by the Lord Bishop.

I have in my hand a photograph which is rather interesting because on it is Clifford Irving, MHK and I understand that Clifford Irving was partly responsible, or very much involved, in those early days and I wonder what you could tell me about that please? Mr.S Yes, well Mr. J. B. Bolton, as he was in those days, J.B. Bolton, was Chairman of the Finance Board and there were three members normally on the Finance Board and I can’t remember who the others were, except that Clifford Irving went on to the Finance Board and I do know, because he has told me this himself, that he went to the very first meeting after he was appointed and he was welcomed by J. B. Bolton and J.

    CHAPTER 5 THE ISLAND’S AFTERMATH OF BITTERNESS 5.1 Introduction “This is the type of thing that stops you dead in your tracks, sick and stunned. The whole island is sick, the radio is on all the time, broadcasting news, and for some reason we all seem to carry a feeling of guilt.” (Taken from a letter written by an islander to his relatives on the mainland and reproduced in the Manchester Evening News, August 9th, 1973) It was the morning of Friday, August 3rd, 1973. The Isle of Man had been devastated by the worst British fire disaster since the Second World War and the press began to descend on Douglas to report on its aftermath. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the aftermath of the Summerland disaster. This chapter will describe the police and the Fire Research Station’s investigation into the fire; and the reactions of the architects, the Chief Fire Officer, Trust House Forte, Douglas Corporation and the Manx Government to the disaster with all their allegations, finger-pointing and denials of blame. This chapter will also include extensive comment on the Summerland disaster from building and fire experts in Britain. The material is arranged chronologically to enable the reader to see how events unfolded over time, and the controversies and contradictions that arose in people’s comments about the fire. 261 5.2 Comment and reaction in the seven days after the fire DAY 1: FRIDAY, AUGUST 3RD Police investigation The theory that the fire was started by an electrical fault in the Amusement Arcade (section 4.4) was dismissed by the Friday morning by eyewitness accounts of youths “acting furtively” on the crazy-golf terrace at 7.55pm and then running away “in a guilty fashion” when the fire started.
