§ 7. Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in conjunction with the buy British goods movement, he will associate with it propaganda in favour of home seaside and health resorts, since they prosper on the amenities they have to offer and which they largely produce themselves?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend is of the opinion that propaganda in favour of home seaside and health resorts can best be left to municipal and private enterprise. The local authorities concerned have powers to advertise under the Health Resorts and Watering Places Act, 1921.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYDoes not the hon. Gentleman think it desirable that it should be brought to 1695 the notice of his colleagues in the Cabinet that they should not set an example by spending their winters on the Riviera?
§ Sir HARRY BRITTAINWill not my hon. Friend at the same time try to encourage home resorts to make themselves as attractive as some of those on the Continent?
