New rules allow more debate
A government minister has downplayed the possibility of legislation being held up by new rules in the House of Keys.
The idea of extra input going into debates during the passing of bills through the Keys won almost total support when the vote was taken in there recently.
Only Glenfaba and Peel MHK Geoffrey Boot opposed it.
Mr Boot suggested it might lead to filibustering - lengthy speeches designed to cause legislation to fail.
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas disagrees:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
