Bill has third reading in House of Keys
A bill banning sky lanterns and helium balloons has edged closer to becoming law.
It's gone to Legislative Council and is expecting its third reading on the 2 March to be signed in Tynwald and seek Royal Assent.
The sale of sky lanterns was first made illegal on the Island in 2015.
The bill's promoter, Garff MHK Martyn Perkins, says the legislation has the backing of environmental groups, the farming community and emergency services.
He hopes it will make a positive difference:
MiCard users who can't use bank accounts to receive new cards
Mountain closure further extended
Chief minister proposes issuing new MiCards to those who can't open bank accounts
Timeline for new CRHS 'a bit tight', says education minister
More details about MiCard replacement could be revealed today
