Stopwatches at the ready - the trial of time-limited speeches will be in place for next week's Tynwald sitting.
In March the Island's Bishop expressed a desire to have the limits imposed to keep debates focused and to the point.
The experiment will see 20 minutes allocated to moving a report, 15 minutes to move a motion and 10 minutes to speak or make an amendment - answering questions will be limited to five minutes.
Robert Paterson says in his opinion it will only serve to benefit Tynwald and the political process:
Road to beauty spot temporarily closed from today
Politician to query government income from medical cannabis
Police appeal over prom incident
Christian to defend seat
Police ask people to avoid Mountain Road after supercar crash
Over £2.7k raised by firefighters' 'Station To Summit' challenge
Onchan post office to stop trading
Police report fall in sexual offences
