23. Mr. Dickens

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what proportion of grants and loans made through the English Tourist Board are granted to the north of England.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Approximately one third of all offers made by the English Tourist Board in 1984–85 under section 4 of the Development of Tourism Act 1969 have been to projects in the north of England. I shall write to my hon. Friend with more details.
