1. Introduction

Positive Action Group (P A G) wholeheartedly agrees with the opening remarks of the Chief Minister in the Introduction (1.1) to the consultative document, in saying;
"There is a need for the Isle of Man Government to demonstrate publicly that it requires public bodies to be open to independent scrutiny of the their administrative processes and decisions....."

P A G supports the introduction of an independent Tynwald Commissioner for Admisitration (TCA) but questions the logic of linking the proposed legislation with that of the Tynwald Auditor General Bill, believing that such a link ought to be made with the so far unfulfilled promise to introduce an Access to Information Bill as both relate to listed authorities interaction with the public.

Freedom of Information - November 2009

E-mail Print PDF

November Tynwald followers will have noticed that Quentin Gill withdrew his motion about the Code of Access to Government Information. He may have been reassured by this entry in the recent Government Annual Report 2009:

"Drafting instructions have been developed for an Access to Government Bill and it is anticipated that the Bill will go out for consultation in November/December 2009 and the results of the consultation, a Bill will be introduced into the Branches by February 2010."

Remember the original Strategic Plan introduction date was 2007/08!
