Does the Chief Minister only legislate when a problem arises?
That was the question put forward by Douglas East MHK Brenda Cannell in the House of Keys yesterday.
It was in relation to Allan Bell's announcement that there are no plans, and no need, to introduce legislation against arranged and forced marriages.
Mrs Cannell and Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer counter argued that its introduction would be better before it potentially became an issue.
However Mr Bell says it’s simply not one of government’s priorities:
Yacht club worries over lifeboat retirement
One nuisance cyclist ticketed in more than three years
New ministerial post created by chief minister
Huge floating book fair to arrive in Douglas next month
Stay safe for Hop Tu Naa tonight
Special Olympics fundraiser needs you
Peel ready for bonfire and fireworks later
Government: "UK never told us about child murderer"
