§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if he will make a statement on the impact of lottery-funded tourist attractions on their non-funded counterparts across the United Kingdom. [139014]
§ Janet Anderson[holding answer 22 November 2000]: The impact of lottery-funded tourist attractions on their non-lottery-funded counterparts across the UK is one of a wide range of issues which will be considered at the forum for attractions which the Government plan to hold early next year. The forum will bring together the attractions industry and the departmental bodies with an interest in it. The English Tourism Council's publication Actions for Attractions published on 16 November identifies new opportunities for action and will help to inform the forum.
