Government says it doesn't know how many people move here for the TT

The government says it doesn't know how many people moved to the Island because of their love for the TT.

A Freedom of Information request to the Department for Enterprise asked how many people gave the annual motorsport festival as a reason for moving here.

But in its response, the department said it doesn't hold the information, adding it doesn't collate that data.

Last year, Locate Isle of Man - which falls under DfE - ran a marketing campaign featuring TT rider Dean Harrison to tempt bike fans to move to the Island.
