General debate highlights calls for increased representation for younger residents
Tynwald members voiced their support for the introduction of a children's commissioner on the Isle of Man.
Former children's champion Daphne Caine led a general debate on the issue at this month's sitting of the Manx parliament.
The position would have a broader scope than the current champion's role.
Kerry Sharpe MLC was among those highlighting the need for increased representation for younger Manx residents:
