Allan Bell

Allan Robert Bell CBE (born 20 June 1947) is a Manx politician who was the Chief Minister of the Isle of Man from 2011 until 2016, having been elected to that position on 11 October 2011.

He was named as a central figure[4] in the "corruption of the system of government"[5] identified by Mount Murray Commission of Inquiry[6] (2002–2003), referring to his time as Tourism Minister in the early 1990s.

On 11 October 2011, Bell was elected Chief Minister of the Isle of Man, winning a clear majority over Liberal Vannin opponent Peter Karran.

[8] After a legal review found the deal to be "outside of government powers", Bell initially refused to accept the proffered resignation of the economic development minister, John Shimmin.

[9] Bell was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for public service to the Isle of Man.
