Fresh problems with the UK government’s e-borders scheme approved by Tynwald earlier this month could mean huge changes to the way it’s set up.

So says long-standing critic of the plan Tristram Llewellyn Jones after the UK government sacked contractor Raytheon Systems.

The company was fired after it admitted work to create a database of traveller’s movements and information was at least a year behind schedule.

Mr Llewellyn Jones says the longer the system takes to set up, the more likely it is to undergo significant changes.
