Chief minister criticises MHK's proposals
Proposed amendments to the Same Sex Marriage Bill are nothing more than delaying tactics, according to the chief minister.
Allan Bell has been speaking about the changes North Douglas MHK John Houghton has suggested to the bill.
These include giving registrars the right to say no performing same-sex ceremonies, and parents the right to take their children out of classes which teach about gay marriage.
Mr Bell claims he knows why the amendments have been brought forward:

Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Coastguard team rescues two-year-old Jack Russell "Teddy"
