The July sitting of Tynwald will experiment with a new format that will see a time cap put on politician's speeches.
It's after members passed a motion put forward by the bishop.
Bishop Robert Paterson said the idea came to him following a long debate in Tynwald on the topic of bin wagons.
Members will have a limit of 20 minutes for a statement, 15 minutes for a motion, 10 to put forward an amendment and just five minutes to respond to a supplementary question.
The motion wasn't without its detractors - with South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft branding the experiment badly timed:
Summerland campaigners back in court this week
More TT routes offered by airline next year
First Tynwald of new government tomorrow - and first protest
MHK saddened by historic Douglas pub's closure
Ice rink hoping to open in Nobles Park this Christmas
New BMX track for Foxdale?
Appointments commission needs you
