Lonan3 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Also missed out - "St John Bates goes to Russia" - I see another high level delegation trip on the horizon for Donnie and the boys! From Manx Radio: Former Clerk to Tynwald Professor St John Bates is to help draft legislation in the Russian Federation He has been appointed as one of two experts by the Council of Europe. The programme is expected to run for two years. Professor Bates (pictured) will be attending a two day meeting of a joint working group in Strasbourg this week, which will be attended by a delegation from the Russian Parliament, the State Duma. He has already helped draft legislation in Albania and the Ukraine, and his consultancy has carried out legislative training in other countries in central and eastern Europe. As he is now an independent consultant, the only sorry thing about the story is that Tynwald failed to value him properly when he was employed by them - other jurisdictions are obviously not so short-sighted.
