asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what deficit or surplus in current account has been incurred at the Lake District National Park Centre at Brockhole, during each year since the original public purchase of the property; and what was the revenue from car park fees in each of those years;(2) to what extent the car park revenues at the Lake District National Park Centre at Brockhole have failed to cover the running expenses of the establishment, in each year since the property was originally purchased into public ownership;(3) how much money has been spent in capital expenditure on the Lake District National Park Centre at Brockhole in each year, including the year in which the property was first purchased into public ownership.

The National Park Centre at Brockhole is run by the Lake District Special Planning Board. The detailed information will be available to the Board but is not readily in the possession of either my Department or the Countryside Commission.
