HC Deb 24 January 2000 vol 343 cc91-2W
Mr. Hoyle

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent discussions he has had with train and coach operators about promoting tourist attractions in the North-West. [105047]

Janet Anderson

[holding answer 17 January 2000]: I have had no recent discussions with train and coach operators in the North West. However, I have started a regular dialogue with rail and coach operators at a national level through the English Tourism Council's Transport Task Force. This was set up recently as part of the Government's national strategy for tourism, Tomorrow's Tourism.
