tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL5870
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2016 answer text Tourism is a devolved matter, so it is for each of the home nations to decide on the structure and activities of their national tourist boards. <p /><p />The Government has decided that the British Tourist Authority should continue to trade as VisitBritain and VisitEngland - with VisitBritain focussed on the promotion of Britain overseas, and VisitEngland focussed on the development of English tourism product. VisitEngland will do this through a new £40m Discover England fund. <p /><p />Funding for British tourism will now be ring-fenced and the Government is committed to setting challenging targets for VisitBritain to encourage more visitors to explore beyond London. We are actively engaging with the Scottish and Welsh Governments on these targets and operating principles. answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 15/02/2016 12:19:25 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
