Politicians meet via audio link during coronavirus crises
The Speaker of the House of Keys has praised the work of Tynwald staff, who made the inaugural 'virtual' sitting of the Manx parliament possible.
MHKs and MLCs met yesterday (Fri, 3 April) via audio link, to conduct the extraordinary sitting, in accordance with government's social distancing guidelines.
Juan Watterson, who is also deputy president of Tynwald, says it was a quick turnaround:
