Any vote for Manx independence would probably need permission from the UK.
That's the finding of Tynwald's Constitutional and Legal Affairs and Justice committee, which will lay a report before Tynwald later this month.
The committee considered the Island's relationship with the UK and other Crown Dependencies.
Its report says the Island's Law Society looked at a possible independence referendum, and concluded after a recent Scottish case in the UK Supreme Court such a vote might not be possible without Westminster's say-so.
