ponderer Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 They've not mentioned Quentin Gill's questions suggesting there is a problem recruiting and retaining senior civil servants who are being tempted by the private sector - although the way he has worded his question (Oral Question 4) could have been more incisive... http://www.tynwald.org.im/papers/questions...2007/main.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponderer Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Why does Mrs Cannell keep repeating herself? I assume you mean her loaded question about 'safeguards' against 'floods' of Romanian and Bulgarian immigrants settling on the iom [and potentially helping, probably temporarily until they go back, to sustain growth in the manx economy] (question 6) rather than the question asking the new Education minister about her (I think its Anne Craine isnt it?) priorities for the next 12 months (question 8)...?

Declan Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I guess she is referring to the fact that she asks the same question to each minister. More to the point why does the question relating to whether a zebra crossing is going to be created need a written response. Surely, the answer is either "yes" or "no".

Maybe its just a kind of planted question to give each minister a chance to put on record their priorities...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I see Mr Lowey is asking questions about Richmond Hill (Q. 29). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 As for Mr Karran's question (no. 20) about planning committee meeting et al I can personally attest that he has never attended one of the public meetings. Why doesn't he do some homework before asking his questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponderer Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Do you think we can use the good offices of manx forums to ask the following question for written answer at some point on this thread: (The not always very honourable) ponderer to ask Brenda Cannell MHK: MF1: What are your main proirities in terms of policy issues going to be in the next 12 months?

Wow, yes, that's such a clever tactic. I can see now why we need to elect these people. Why don't these sort of probing questions get asked every year?

Why doesn't he do some homework before asking his questions? Be fair, he probably was at home during the meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copycat Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 why can't each members priorities for the year be posted up and then judged at the year end as to what they have or have not achieved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
