"After being questioned as a result of the interview, the British Government denied receiving any funds from the sale of .io domain names"

So according to the linked article, no: .io names give nothing to Britain.

someone must be getting it, and it's not the islanders... so it's either the UK government, or someone they sold/gave the rights to.

Is worth noting here that the British Government denying recieving funds is not quite the same as the British Government not recieving funds.
