The motion
That this House salutes the people of the Isle of Man as they celebrate their national day on Wednesday 5th July, 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 and the Commonwealth.
