Wed, 05 Jan 2011

A Commonwealth Committee is to meet on the Island for the first time later this month.

The Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth will take place in the Tynwald Chamber next Friday.

Politicians from at least ten countries will be attending, including the UK's Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow.

The Speaker of the House of Keys Steve Rodan attended the last meeting in Delhi in January last year.
