Bill possibly to follow in new legislative year
The public are to be asked their views on gay marriage laws in the Isle of Man.
Subject to the results of that consultation, and if room can be found in the legislation programme, Tynwald will be asked to approve a bill during the 2015/2016 legislative session.
Ministers will be given a free vote.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says he doesn't want to see what he perceives to be unnecessary delays:
