14 Acts to be promulgated on Tynwald Day

Thu, 05 Jul 2018

A number of Acts will undergo the final stage of the Manx legislative process during this year's Tynwald Day ceremony.

This year's promulgation of acts includes 14 pieces of legislation that have come into force during the last 18 months.

Acts have to be read out in Manx and English on Tynwald Hill as part of the Tynwald Day ceremony within a year and a half of coming into force or they cease to have effect.

The ceremony gets underway at 11am, and also includes the swearing-in of coroners, presentation of petitions for redress from the public and the presentation of a Tynwald Honour to Beach Buddies founder Bill Dale.

A number of road closures will be in place around St John's between 10am and 6pm, while a further closure will be in place from Glen Mooar Road to the rear of Tynwald Hill from 5pm to 11pm, with other traffic restrictions also in place in the area throughout the day.
