A new Council of Ministers report shows how much progress the government’s made implementing Tynwald policy.

The document, which runs to 78 pages, shows what the court has asked for – and whether the committee, department or other body has managed to carry it out.

Top of the list is access to government information – Tynwald asked for new laws in December 2005, but the report lists its status as 'ongoing'.

Also still outstanding is an independent system for investigating police complaints, which Tynwald asked for in 2006 after a petition for redress of grievance from Roy Redmayne.

The document highlights what will be very familiar issues to Tynwald-watchers – the Lord Street Bus Station development, Langness foothpaths and a report into Steam Packet prices which all date back to 2008 and are still listed as 'ongoing'.

More recent issues from 2009, such as the European Savings Directive, an overhaul of the work permit system, and cutting the government’s carbon footprint, have all now been implemented.

The annual report will be put before the court when it sits on Tuesday next week.
