HC Deb 26 July 1934 vol 292 cc1931-2
45. Captain CUNNINGHAM - REID

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider setting up a Government Department for the encouragement of the tourist traffic to Britain on the lines of those established in France and other Continental countries?

The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)

No, Sir. The Travel and Industrial Development Association of Great Britain and Ireland was formed in 1929 to perform the functions referred to. Each year since its inception the association has received a grant from His Majesty's Government to assist it in its work, which it performs in cooperation where necessary with the Government Departments concerned and with the relevant bodies in Scotland and Ireland.
