A Council of Ministers sub-committee formed in January this year is investigating the merits and practicalities or otherwise of organising Government on the basis of a Single Legal Entity.
The sub-committee chaired by Minister for Policy and Reform Chris Thomas MHK is conducting a brief internal consultation in order to obtain views from across Government and then submit an interim report for debate in Tynwald in July 2017.
The Minister said: ‘Following our discussions so far, we have identified a number of options in support of the continued evolution of the Isle of Man Government and have set them out in an internal consultation document.
‘We are not conducting a full public consultation at this stage, as that has been done previously, and bearing in mind the document does not contain any firm policy proposals. However, we hope any views received will help the sub-committee reach conclusions for discussion in Tynwald and as part of a wider public debate.’
The document is being published on the Cabinet Office website at: www.gov.im/singlelegalentity.
