Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan says meeting his opposite number in the United Kingdom was an enjoyable experience, and could bring the Isle of Man a welcome friend in Westminster.
Last week he visited Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow, who has been in office for a little over a year.
Mr Rodan says he hopes the conservative MP for Buckingham will visit the Island soon, possibly on a future Tynwald Day.
He says Mr Bercow was very interested in the House of Keys and Tynwald:
