Mr. Alton
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how much of the objective 1 money allocated for tourism and related purposes in Liverpool has been (a) allocated and (b) designated; and what remains. [5117]
Mr. Gummer
Allocations in the objective 1 programme cover the whole of Meseyside. The total allocation to support the cultural, media and leisure industries—drivier 4—is approximately £42 million, of which £2.4 million has been committed in offer letters. Projects seeking a further £15.5 million are under consideration. Within driver 4, some £10 million is allocated specifically to support the development of visitor attractions. Of this, £887,000 has been committed in offer letters; projects seeking a further £9 million are under consideration.
