Ministerial Visits

Sir Peter Soulsby
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport which Ministers in her Department have visited Leicester in the last year; and where they visited in Leicester.

Mr. Lammy
In the last year, I have visited Leicester twice. On 26 January 2006 I opened the Broughton Astley library and visited the Braunstone library, and on 4 July 2006 I spoke at the cultural strategy launch at the Peepul Centre.

No other DCMS Ministers have visited Leicester in the last 12 months.

All ministerial visits are conducted in accordance with the Ministerial Code and ‘Travel by Ministers’.
