HC Deb 12 May 1987 vol 116 c168W
43. Mr. Butterfill

asked the Paymaster General what information he has as to how many tourist information centres there are operating in the United Kingdom; how many operate all year round and how many operate seasonally; and whether there are any plans to open any new centres.

Mr. Trippier

There are currently some 455 tourist information centres in the United Kingdom which operate all year round, and a further 336 centres which operate on a seasonal basis. I understand that a number of new centres are likely to open this year, including one at the South Mimms service station on the M25.
