Tynwald to hold 'virtual' sitting today

This mornings Tynwald sittings will see members coming together via online audio links for the first time.

It's part of the latest measures the government is taking to enforce social distancing to combat the spread of Coronavirus.

The session, starting at 10.30am, will see Chief Minister, Howard Quayle, move for rules under the emergency powers act to be continued including entry restrictions, the all-Island 40mph speed limit and the closure of businesses.

Following this, the House of Keys will meet to take a first reading of the new emergency powers bill - the Keys session will also be carried out via online link.
