IOM behind other jurisdictions in terms of equality
There's to be a bid to increase diversity in the Island's upper parliament next year.

One of a number of reforms, passed in the court yesterday following the Lisvane Report, focuses on the lack of representation among unelected MLCs.
The Council currently has just one permanent female member, recently-appointed solicitor Jane Poole-Wilson.
That statistic puts the Isle of Man far behind neighbouring jurisdictions in terms of equality.
She told Tynwald that ought to change:
