Currently no ID checks required when arriving by boat, confirms Department of Home Affairs
The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed there is no legal requirement to show ID when travelling to the Isle of Man by boat.
Minister Jane Poole-Wilson faced questions on what data is collected about passenger movements and whether the government can track people overstaying illegally.
Police already use passenger lists to cross-reference who is travelling to and from the Island.
But the government plans to introduce new legislation that would also enable the use of facial recognition technology:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
"One of the Island's foremost champions of Manx heritage" to receive Tynwald Honour
No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
