The President of Tynwald, the Hon Clare Christian MLC, welcomed the Rt Hon Lord McNally to the Legislative Buildings on Friday November 16th, 2012.

Lord McNally was in the Isle of Man in his role as Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice with special responsibility for the Crown Dependencies, accompanied by his assistant private secretary Ms Camisha Bridgeman and head of the Crown Dependencies team Ms Cathryn Hannah.

Mrs Christian, who gave her distinguished guests a tour of the Tynwald Chambers, said: ‘The Isle of Man enjoys a close relationship with the United Kingdom. In this the Ministry of Justice’s Crown Dependencies branch plays an important role, representing the Island’s interests not only in the UK but on the wider international stage. I was therefore delighted that Lord McNally’s programme allowed time to visit Tynwald and discuss matters of mutual interest and I look to welcoming him back in the future.’
