Tynwald committee scrutinises gov't support
The economic impact of Covid-19, and government efforts to mitigate it, will be scrutinised by a Tynwald committee this morning.
Treasury Minister Alf Cannan and Chief Financial Officer Caldric Randall will be under the spotlight, appearing virtually.

Mr Watterson says he hopes it'll 'lift the lid' on what government has offered Manx businesses and employees.
