Following the Revestment Act of 1765 the British Crown appointed a

title of the Governor himself became ‘Lieutenant Governor’, which was
frequently abbreviated simply to ‘Governor’. On appointment, the Governor
and the Lieutenant Governor received from the Monarch a commission
setting out the nature of the tasks required of them: in general terms, these
were to ensure the good government of the island.

The first major and concerted campaign to reduce the powers of the
Lieutenant Governor came in 1907 when the House of Keys sent a list of
demands to the Home Office. These included:
(a) introducing a fixed term of office for any Lieutenant Governor;
(b) establishing an Executive Council to assist the Lieutenant Governor in
all matters relating to the government and finance of the island; and
(c) placing the police under the control of Tynwald.

Limited reform did subsequently take place, for example the introduction of a
fixed seven-year term of office for the Lieutenant Governor, and reform of the
composition of the Legislative Council by introducing an element elected by
the Keys (which reduced the Lieutenant Governor’s ability to control the
Council). However, it was not until the 1960s that really extensive reductions
began to occur in the scope of the Lieutenant Governor’s powers. These
largely resulted from a Commission of Inquiry into the Constitution of the
Isle of Man set up by Lieutenant Governor Dundas in 1958.
 
Some of the key reforms of the early 1960s (c.f. paragraph 11 below) were:
(a) the Executive Council was given statutory powers to advise the
Lieutenant Governor, who could reject such advice only in exceptional
circumstances;
(b) a Finance Board was established to advise the Lieutenant Governor on
all financial matters:
(c) a Civil Service Commission was established to appoint all civil
servants;
(d) some aspects of police administration were handed to a Police Board,
although the Lieutenant Governor still determined the rôle and policy
of the police force; and
(e) a further extension of elected Legislative Council Members by the
House of Keys took place.
 
However, even after these reforms, the Lieutenant Governor still presided
