Henderson claims effects are felt worldwide
The so-called grandfather of Tynwald says the Manx Parliament sometimes forgets how widely the effects of its work are felt.
MLC Bill Henderson has sat in the chamber for 23 years.
In 2000 he placed a motion calling on government to compensate Manx residents who had been prisoners of war in Japan during World War II.
£10,000 was given - leading to international media attention and motions in Westminster:
Man jailed for breaking partner's cheek in assault
21-year-old sent to prison for 2.5 years
'Extensive searches are ongoing' to find missing man
45-year-old was last seen on Friday morning
DoI made multiple failings when refusing FoI request
Information Commissioner orders department to provide requested information
ManxSPCA donation box stolen
Ramsey police issue appeal
