Justice Minister Jane Poole-Wilson says a third of people who needed interpreters during criminal investigations were TT visitors.
In the House of Keys this week she faced a question from Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse about the number of suspects who needed translations.
Mrs Poole-Wilson said in total last year 21 people under investigation didn't have sufficient English skills.
But she added people may also need interpreters for sign language:
Strang Stores applies for extension permission
Tynwald petition advice is free - but you'll need to act soon!
Midnight closing for new Indian restaurant in Castletown?
Tynwald to hear about Ramsey hospital reopening
Superdrug to open beauty salon in summer
MHK to query regulation for funeral directors
Road closures announced for Sprintfest - but no Ramsey Sprint again?
TT 2026 funfair deals close tomorrow
