The justice minister says she isn't able to predict the impact proposed 20mph limits will have on speeding offences.
Jane Poole-Wilson responded to a question in the House of Keys this week from Douglas Central MHK Chris Thomas.
She also said existing data from the police and courts about past speeding offences couldn't be analysed in that way.
The minister went on to explain why she personally couldn't make predictions about the future:
Douglas Harbour bridge to temporarily close overnight
New weekly lunch club to combat loneliness
New laws to regulate gas suppliers to be debated
MHK wants update on solar panels for public buildings
Council to cut down 39 dangerous trees
Government allocating nearly £1m to AI initiative
Toffee found after intense search
Drone collision warning over missing dog search
