Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects his Department to have completed an assessment of the study by John Jarvis and Sons plc on the tourism potential of the Settle-Carlisle railway line area; and if he will make a statement.

The study by J. Jarvis and Sons is a welcome contribution to the development of tourism in this very attractive part of the country and is being currently considered. The English Tourist Board and the Manpower Services Commission have both expressed interest in the study's findings.
