Motion Text
That this House salutes the people of the Isle of Man as they celebrate their Tynwald Day on Thursday 5th July 2007, 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 AD; 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 and unbreakable link with the United Kingdom and the Crown.
