Tynwald Decisions
This list is managed by the Isle of Man Government Cabinet Office.
The Tynwald Policy Decisions Report lists all Tynwald policy
decisions including recommendations of Tynwald Committees to be actioned by
Government.
The responses to Tynwald policy decisions
may require action over a number of years for example if legislation is
proposed. Policy decisions therefore remain within the list until completed
actions have been reported to Tynwald. Tynwald decisions which are not for
action by Government e.g. the establishment of a Tynwald Select Committee are
not included.
All Tynwald policy decisions contained within the Tynwald Policy
Decisions Report have a responsible Department, Board or Office.
Tynwald policy decisions are listed in chronological order with a
unique reference number, the month and year of the decision, the Tynwald
decision, a short commentary on the action taken by Government and an overview
of the status as to whether the policy decision has been `Implemented','
Ongoing', 'Under Consideration', 'Carried Forward' or 'Closed' (not to be
Implemented). The definitions of status are:
Implemented
— all necessary work has been completed
Ongoing
— work has begun on complying with the Tynwald
decision
Under Consideration
— Department has looked at the Tynwald decision, it has been
discussed but actual work has not yet commenced
Carried Forward — Tynwald decision
relates to a long standing commitment or the Department is waiting to proceed
Closed — Tynwald decision is
not to be implemented as the Department has decided not to proceed, a very
strong justification should be used in the 'Action Taken' column to explain
this decision. Departments must not rely
on this Report as the sole mechanism for reporting to Tynwald Members that a
decision has been closed and must separately report or make a statement to
Tynwald on the reasons why the Tynwald decision is not to be implemented.
The Tynwald Policy Decisions Report is collated and compiled by
the Cabinet Office from the action, information and allocated status provided
by the various Departments, Offices and Statutory Boards.
Further information on any of the Tynwald policy decisions can be
obtained from the responsible Department, Board or Office in the first
instance.
