Hybrid sitting for Tynwald

Some members to sit in person while others join proceedings remotely

Some Tynwald members will meet in person this morning, despite plans for a virtual sitting of the Manx parliament being announced.

Deputy president Juan Watterson confirmed a hybrid sitting will now take place, allowing members to chose whether they sit in person or join remotely.

It comes in response to the rising number of coronavirus cases on the Isle of Man, enabling those who are self-isolating or at risk to attend virtually.

The sitting gets underway at 10.30am.
