Freedom of Information - Consultation announced at last

E-mail Print PDF

snail_billHaving delayed for over 3 years the government have at last published a draft FOI Bill and the consultation document.

There is to be an eight week public consultation period, closing on 10th September 2010. Rest assured that PAG will be going through the document with a fine toothcomb over the Summer months.

A first read indicates that it is proposed to make a charge to deal with FOI requests!

Chief Minister, Tony Brown gave a revealing interview on Manx Radio about the introduction of the legislation. It can be heard on their 'listen again' facility, but only until 19th July 2010. It lasts about 10 minutes.

Listen particularly to the excuse for the delay, since early 2007, in drafting the legislation.

Webcasting of Tynwald rejected

E-mail Print PDF

Tynwald will be asked at its July sitting to receive a Report of the Management Committee and approve the recommendation to augment existing broadcasting proceedings with a 'listen again' (audio only) facility for a trial period of 12 months.

It will be offered via a 'modernised' Tynwald website and the Manx Radio website, the idea being to monitor uptake over the trial period and if successful to eventually upgrade to a video service i.e. webcasting.

PAG presented the idea of webcasting to the Management Committee almost three years ago - it's taken that long to consider the idea and, not unexpectedly, to reject it. 'We can't afford it' is the reason given in the Report.
