TT marshals will always be given free programmes.

That was the response in Tynwald yesterday to a question from Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer.

He wanted to find out how many programmes were issued at this year's event and asked if restrictions would be made in the future.

It was revealed more than 1,500 programmes were allocated to marshals after many more people than expected signed on.

Minister for Economic Development John Shimmin said the TT Marshals Association would continue to recieve free programmes.
