Maintaining the strength of the TT brand for the future will be brought up for discussion by an MHK this week.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse will question Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly MHK, on the subject when the House of Keys meets for its latest session on Tuesday.

Mr Moorhouse will ask what the Department for Enterprise is doing to keep up the strength of the brand despite the cancellation of the motoring festival.

The races haven't taken place in 2020 or 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
