New technology being trialed at Guernsey's prison is thought to be the first of its kind in the British Isles.

Purple Visits will allow inmates to communicate with people across the world in a secure Facetime-style call.

The virtual scheme is being provided at no cost to the Guernsey taxpayer, Governor Dave Matthews said.

"We have lots of foreign nationals in the prison who don't get visits, people from the UK who can't get visits.

"And we have some elderly and infirm people on the island who actually can't get to the prison. But this system allows them to visit," Mr Matthews added.

Jersey's assistant education minister says he has lost faith in the board that sets politicians pay.

When the States Members Remuneration Review Body announced a survey of public opinion, Deputy Jeremy Macon called for its members to be sacked, saying the group's members admitted they did not fully know what States members did.

Deputy Jeremy Macon said the committee had been "approached repeatedly".

He said: "Time and again they are not interested in actually looking at the hours that States members put in, and the work that they do behind the scenes."

The States said the remuneration body was an independent committee and that it would take any steps necessary to gauge public opinion and seek the opinions of members of the States for its work.
