The Isle of Man Government was never trying to "sell off" the TT Races.
That's the claim from the former head of motorsport who's defended the Department of Economic Development's efforts to outsource the promotion of the event.
Trevor Hussey has given evidence to the Economic Policy Review Committee which is investigating the collapse of the Vision Nine deal.
In a previous sitting of the committee businessman Barrie Baxter, who made an unsuccessful bid for the contract, claimed the TT "belongs to the people".
It's a claim Mr Hussey said was "silly":
Motorsport event appealing for marshals
Rural road's poor condition closes it for weeks
50-mile Ultramarathon to launch in Island
Another yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Dental practice to relocate once more
Weather cancels two ferries today
Douglas Harbour bridge to temporarily close overnight
Weekly lunch club to combat loneliness
