Some legislation 'slowed down' to prioritise other bills
Department of Home Affairs believes it is 'unlikely' that three major pieces of legislation can be delivered in this administration.
The Hate Crime Bill, Sentencing Bill and legislation to replace the Interception of Communications Act 1988 and the Regulation of Surveillance, Etc. Act 2006 are described as 'at risk'.
Minister Jane Poole-Wilson has previously emphasised the need for giving courts aggravated sentencing powers to help reduce incidents of hate crime.
Speaking to Manx Radio after the announcement, she denied that minority groups have been given false hope:
Commissioners considered financial support to keep Cregneash bus going
Tynwald asked to establish select committee on health and care governance
DoI minister to address housing on the Isle of Man in Tynwald
Bishop gives "heartfelt thanks" for life of Pope Francis
