§ 25. Mr. Liddallasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what the Travel Association is doing on its own initiative in relation to the Come-to-Britain Movement; and whether he is satisfied that its operations do not overlap 898 work done equally well by the Automobile Association, the Hotels Association, and the steamship and tourist companies?
§ Mr. CrossI have been asked to reply. The Travel Association is carrying out on a considerable scale publicity on behalf of the Come-to-Britain Movement. It in-includes distribution on a wide scale of booklets, participation in exhibitions abroad, broadcasting, films, and every known method of publicity. In reply to the second part of the question, the bodies mentioned are all members and supporters of the Travel Association, and there should, therefore, be no question of overlapping, as it is to their interest to see that there is no duplication.
Mr. De la BéreDoes the hon. Member realise that the Travel Association is handicapped by lack of funds?
§ Mr. GallacherWill the Travel Association issue its invitation "Come to Britain" to the thousands of Britishers who are unemployed and stranded in Canada and America?
§ Mr. Rhys DaviesIs the Travel Association subsidised by the Government, and, if so, by how much?
