The Chief Executive of the Department of Infrastructure says a deal to appoint a new TT promoter didn't take into account how much the event costs.
Nick Black was giving evidence to the Economic Policy Review Committee this morning about the Vision nine deal, which collapsed last year seven months after Tynwald approved it.
Mr Black says nobody had worked out the true cost of hosting the event, and so it was impossible to say if the government would make any money by outsourcing the TT and Classic TT.
He said with tens of thousands of extra visitors promised by Vision Nine, nobody asked him how much extra that would cost in government services:
Two more schemes backed by government fund
Island to get Bikesafe scheme for first time
Jurby Junk's Stella dies aged 90
No plans to publish UK's assisted dying letters
Burst water main disrupts Onchan supply
Government advice following spike in data breaches
Plans for four-foot flood walls at Ramsey harbour
Garage blaze in the early hours of this morning
