HC Deb 14 December 1937 vol 330 c976
35. Mr. Cassells (for Mr. R. Gibson)

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will consider an increase in the grant to the Scottish Travel Association for the purpose of advertising overseas the attractions of Scotland to tourists and the special attractions afforded in 1938 by Scotland's Empire Exhibition?

Mr. Elliot

The arrangements for advertising the Empire Exhibition to be held in Glasgow in 1938 are in the hands of a representative committee, which has been appointed by the Exhibition authorities and includes representatives of the Scottish Travel Association. I am assured that all possible means are being taken, and will continue to be used by that committee, to advertise the special attractions of the Exhibition, not only in this country, but throughout the world.

Mr. Stephen

Would the money not be much better spent in providing houses for people who cannot get them?
