Support bubbles for those alone in lockdown and the Island's cannabis laws will be among discussions in Tynwald today.

At the virtual sitting, members will have 24 questions for oral response and 26 for written reply to consider.

Other items expected to be under the spotlight include finances for the Island's mental health services, as well as the Manx Covid-19 vaccination programme.

The remote session is expected to start at 10.30am and can be heard via the listening service on the Tynwald website.
