Between 2011 and 2015, Government is investing more than £105m in tourism through the GREAT and other international campaigns. Investment to date is showing positive results. 2013 was a record year for inbound tourism with 32.9 million international visits being made which generated a record £21 billion into the UK in 2013.</p><p>In terms of Berkshire specifically, VisitBritain's public-facing website includes a range of tourism information relating to Windsor which is available via the following link: <a href="http://www.visitbritain.com/en/Destinations-and-Maps/History-and-heritage/Windsor.htm" target="_blank">http://www.visitbritain.com/en/Destinations-and-Maps/History-and-heritage/Windsor.htm</a>. VisitBritain's ‘Heritage is GREAT' advertising campaign also prominently featured Highclere Castle, which is the setting for Downton Abbey.</p><p>The South East region will benefit from a number of thematic campaigns currently being run by VisitEngland which can be found at <a href="http://www.visitengland.com/" target="_blank">http://www.visitengland.com/</a>. It will also benefit from VisitEngland's Holidays at Home are GREAT campaign, which has been broadcast on mainstream terrestrial channels since 1 April, while those areas in the South East region affected by the recent floods are also benefitting from both VisitEngland's ‘Spot on England' marketing campaign and business support events.</p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p>Any person or organisation handling personal information about individuals (including financial details) has a number of legal obligations to protect that information under the Data Protection Act 1998. These obligations are amplified in the current National Lottery licence (Section 22 on data protection), which runs until 2023. In addition, Camelot states in its privacy policy (<a href="http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/privacypolicy.ftl" target="_blank">http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/privacypolicy.ftl</a>): ‘The Company will not sell your personal information to third parties.' As far as other Lotteries are concerned, the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 apply as usual, but there are no specific licence conditions - and there are no plans to introduce any.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Maidstone and The Weald answering member printed Mrs Helen Grant question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4018 label Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant
