Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what proportion of tourism funding has been allocated to the Midlands in each year since 2010.

Government funding for tourism, which is dispersed through VisitBritain and VisitEngland, is not allocated regionally but instead focuses on promoting the country as a whole and thematically. It is not possible to ascertain the precise figures for funding given to the different regions across England.

Other streams of non-central Government funding, including funding from local authorities and businesses, also supports tourism at a local level.
