Lawrie Hooper says revealing major initiatives, including an AI development office, at the annual conference undermines parliamentary process
A Ramsey MHK has criticised government for unveiling major announcements at its annual conference before presenting them to Tynwald.
Among the reveals were plans for a National Office for Artificial Intelligence Development and Regulation, and the return of the Food and Drink Festival.
But Lawrie Hooper says key policy decisions should come before Tynwald first.
He believes it's a deliberate strategic choice:
Castletown Commissioners to decrease rates for next financial year
Man who died in Hillberry crash is named
DHSC responds to report into relationship with Manx Care
Ranson case reforms under scrutiny in Tynwald debate
