Former head of motorsport was giving evidence to a Tynwald committee
The former head of motorsport in the Isle of Man says there is a widespread misconception about the TT.
Trevor Hussey made the comments while giving evidence to the Tynwald committee investigating the TT promoter deal.
He told the committee that, in his opinion, the idea the event belonged to 'the people' was nonsense, saying if it belonged to anyone it was Manx taxpayers and the commercial partners who put money into it:
Bird numbers 'humanely managed' at St John's
DEFA issues statement on arboretum cull
Manx Wildlife Trust: Offshore windfarm ecological assessments 'inadequate'
'We do not agree that such mortality can be insignificant in a Manx context'
Kate Lord-Brennan not standing for re-election
Glenfaba and Peel MHK 'keen to return to the private sector'
"There is a seat for everyone on the Ben-my-Chree"
