Don Foster (Bath, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much the move of VisitBritain and VisitEngland to new headquarters cost; what the estimated operating cost is for the new headquarters in each of the next three years; and what the operating costs were for (a) VisitBritain's and (b) VisitEngland's former headquarters in each of the last five years.
Margaret Hodge (Minister of State, Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Barking, Labour)
The information regarding the move of VisitBritain and VisitEngland to new headquarters is held by VisitBritain.
I have therefore asked VisitBritain's chief executive to answer the question raised by the hon. Member for Bath and to write to him direct.
Copies of the letter will be placed in the Library of both Houses.
