What help is there for using government online services?

What support is there for people outside Douglas who need help using government online services?

That's what Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper wants to know, having tabled a Tynwald question to Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall.

Earlier this month, government announced more driving services would be moving online and out of post offices - though in-person support will still be available at the Tromode test centre.

Tynwald is due to sit from 10am in Legislative Buildings in Douglas on Tuesday, March 17.
