The Chief Minister says there’s ‘nothing more' he can say following the collapse of the Vision Nine TT deal.

Howard Quayle made the statement in the House of Keys this morning after an urgent motion was tabled.

Douglas East MHK Chris Robertshaw called for an explanation after what he deemed the ‘extremely negative and confused publicity’ surrounding the deal.

The Department of Economic Development confirmed yesterday that plans to outsource the operation of the TT and Classic TT to the private company had been scrapped.

Addressing his colleagues Mr Quayle said due to expected legal action there was nothing he could add:
