CPA UK & the Isle of Man

Parliamentarians from the UK and Tynwald, Isle of Man, participate in regular multilateral activities facilitated by the CPA British Islands and Mediterranean Region (CPA BIMR), of which CPA UK is the Secretariat. In March 2022, Tynwald hosted the 51st CPA BIMR Conference in the Isle of Man on the theme of Impactful Scrutiny.

CPA UK welcomes visits from Members of Tynwald and has previously provided familiarisation programmes on the Westminster system, giving Members an opportunity to share experiences of parliamentary practice and procedure, and to discuss the role of the Commonwealth in promoting good governance.

Tynwald regularly partners with CPA UK to support programmes as part of the UK Overseas Territories Project, to promote the sharing of knowledge and experience of public financial management across small legislatures.

Held in the UK Parliament, the programme brought together several themes on which CPA BIMR had been working over recent years, with the Climate Emergency as BIMR's priority theme. The programme gave delegates opportunities to strengthen their network across the region, allowing them to work collaboratively with peers on these important issues.
