asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 7 July (WA 5) concerning the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, what the board has done to exploit opportunities which are unique to Northern Ireland and to develop a visitor experience that is based on the region's culture and natural attributes as regards Ulster Scots.

Lord Williams of Mostyn

With reference to the opportunities presented by Ulster Scots traditions, the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) has been working with the promoters of "On Eagles Wing" with a view to assisting with the international marketing costs of this project. The project is currently being assessed under Measure 4.26 of the Peace II programme.
