Committee to hear evidence on grandparents rights

A standing committee of Tynwald convenes this morning to discuss the subject of grandparents rights.

The Social Affairs Policy Review Commitee is expected to hear evidence from Terry Miles and Heather Miles whose petition for redress on the matter was referred to the panel in November last year.

Whilst Legislative Buildings in Douglas remains closed the session will be taking place remotely via a video conference.

It's due to get underway from 10am and will be livestreamed on the Tynwald website.
