James Hampton Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 This thread feels suitably random. So... Anyone know if / when the last time Tynwald was prorogued for political ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'd never even heard the word 'prorogue' until Boris was elected. Just goes to show, you learn something new every day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Tynwald won't be sitting until 15th October by which time the UK Parliament will have returned from its summer break and subsequently been suspended for 5 weeks and then and only then will Tynwald sit the next day. Which is quite ridiculous when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
