Extra Tynwald sitting to deal with DEFA business

Members to gather on Tuesday afternoon

An additional meeting of the Manx parliament will take place tomorrow after members failed to support EU changes at this month's sitting.

The extraordinary sitting of Tynwald has been called by Tynwald President Steve Rodan to deal with an item of business from the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.

Last week, DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot asked members to approve changes to EU legislation ahead of the end of the Brexit transition period, but the document didn't receive backing in the House of Keys.

The sitting will get underway at 2.30pm.
