Public can now watch proceedings online

The introduction of live video streaming of political sittings marks a ‘significant step’ in making parliament more accessible to the public.

That’s the view of the President of Tynwald.

This week the House of Keys became the first of Tynwald’s three chambers to introduce live video of its regular proceedings.

Live streaming will start in Tynwald on 17 November and in Legislative Council on 24 November.

MLC Juan Watterson said: "The introduction of live video streaming marks a significant step in making the work of the Island's parliament more accessible to the public.

"People can now watch proceedings live online, building on the existing live audio service."

Live video of public committee hearings was introduced in 2024.

You can watch the proceedings HERE.
