Research

The Clerk of Tynwald's Office provides a politically impartial research service for Members and Committees of Tynwald.  We answer queries from Members and Committees of Tynwald and publish briefing papers on topics relevant to parliamentary business. 

Briefing papers are published here for the benefit of Members of Tynwald. The authors are available to discuss the contents of the briefings with Members but cannot advise members of the general public.
