Motion Text
That this House salutes the people of the Isle of Man as they celebrate their national day this week, upholding centuries of proud tradition; notes that the Manx annual Tynwald ceremony dates back over 1,000 years; recognises that the Tynwald is the oldest continuous Parliament in the world, dating back to 800 A.D.; and looks forward to the people of this unique British Crown dependency enjoying a further 1,000 years of self-government and home rule, whilst retaining the special link with the United Kingdom.
