Tynwald Structure
The Branches of Tynwald, the Legislative Council and the House of Keys, sit in their separate chambers in Douglas to consider Bills. These Bills are passed by both Branches and then signed by a majority of each Branch when sitting together in Tynwald, and must then receive Her Majesty's Royal Assent before becoming law in the Isle of Man. When the Branches sit together in the Tynwald Chamber in Douglas, they form the Tynwald Court. Tynwald Court authorises the expenditure of the Isle of Man Government and scrutinises its administration.
