Question

Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on the potential impact of its proposals to introduce a visitor levy scheme on the number of tourists visiting Wales.

Answer

Chris Bryant
None. Responsibility for a visitor levy scheme in Wales is reserved to the Welsh Government, but DCMS and Visit Britain will of course engage with the Welsh Government as the proposals develop.
