MHK behind act delighted scheme can now be rolled out
An Act that paves the way for a scheme to provide free period products for people in public toilets has received Royal Assent.
The Period Products (Free Provision) Act 2026 was piloted through Tynwald as a Private Members Bill by Douglas East MHK, Joney Faragher.
It draws on similar successful schemes rolled out on Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Ms Faragher says she's delighted that a scheme for the Island can now be put in place:
