British Grand Prix

Mr. Kidney
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent discussions she has had on the future of Formula One Grand Prix racing at Silverstone.

Mr. Caborn
The Government support and desire a British Grand Prix at Silverstone but our role remains one of dialogue and facilitation.

I have attended a number of meetings to discuss the future of Formula One Grand Prix racing at Silverstone. The most recent meeting was on 20 March with the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) to discuss their plans for redevelopment of the Silverstone circuit.
