HC Deb 03 March 1999 vol 326 c745W
Mr. Maclean

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to retain a separate Cumbria tourist board within the north-west region. [73642]

Janet Anderson

Cumbria Tourist Board, as are other regional tourist boards, is an independent commercial organisation and determines its own boundary. We wish to see the arrangements for all regional bodies continue on a basis which fosters close and co-operative working to support successful and sustainable development.
