§ 47. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether his Department has put forward any requests for an increase in the annual grant now devoted to popularising tourist travel in this country; and, if so, whether he can state the date on which such request was made and the Government decision?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Dr. Burgin)I have been asked to reply. The amount of the grant to the Travel and Industrial Development Association of Great Britain and Ireland for 1935 was fixed at £4,000, after due discussion between the departments concerned. It is not the practice to disclose details of consultations which take place between departments before Governmental decisions are arrived at.
