Public Administration Review

Mr. McGrady: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the timescale is for completion of the consultation process for the Review of Public Administration in Northern Ireland; when the results will be published; and if he will make a statement. [116836]

Mr. Paul Murphy: I announced in my statement of 26 March 2003 that the Review of Public Administration would not be going out to consultation during the lead-up to elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly. In the light both of the subsequent postponement of these elections and the continuing interest in and support for the Review, I am currently considering options for its future conduct and will make an announcement in the near future.

Stevens Inquiry

Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what instructions were issued to RUC Special Branch concerning co-operation with and disclosure to the inquiry conducted by Sir John Stevens. [110863]

Mr. Paul Murphy: I understand that the then Chief Constable wrote to Sir John Stevens on 13 May 1999 confirming, inter alia, that he would have unlimited access to all intelligence and information available to the RUC and all files held by them.

The Chief Constable copied the above-mentioned letter to the Assistant Chief Constable with responsibility for Special Branch. As a result, a senior officer was appointed within that Department to liaise with the Stevens Team.

Tourism

Mr. Dodds: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much has been spent on tourism in each Northern Ireland constituency in each year since 1997. [112909]

Mr. Pearson: Based on records held, the amount of selected financial assistance spent by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board (NITB) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) to develop accommodation, amenity and visitor attractions and events support in each constituency during the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2002 is detailed in the following table.

In addition, £5,819,194 was spent by NITB on marketing projects during the period from 1 April 1997 to 31 March 2003. Also during the period 1997–2002, £2,695,164 was spent by DARD on the maintenance of facilities such as access to forests and camping/caravanning sites. Information on these projects is not available on a constituency basis.

Financial assistance paid by NITB and DARD to all tourism projects by constituency

Notes:

1. Spend in the Belfast constituencies by DARD reflect payments to organisations based in Belfast. Actual expenditure by those organisations would have related to tourism across Northern Ireland.

2. Some events support paid by NITB between 1997–99 not included because data was not held on a constituency basis.

3. A further amount of £204,109 was spent by NITB on projects which were not constituency specific.
