HC Deb 08 March 2000 vol 345 cc734-5W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what action his Department has taken to identify potential sources of funding for proposals for the partial pedestrianisation of Trafalgar Square. [113445]

Mr. Alan Howarth

The partial pedestrianisation of Trafalgar Square forms part of the wider "World Squares for All" project, for which the new Mayor for London will take over lead responsibility. Substantial financial support could come from the Mayor. Additional funding could be sought from the Heritage Lottery Fund and private sector sponsorship.
