§ 56. Mr. R. Robinsonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether any decision has yet been reached as to the amount of the financial assistance to be given to the Travel Association during the current year; and whether, in view of the importance of the foreign tourist industry to this country, he will recommend such an increase as will bring the assistance given to this association into line with that given to the British Council for Cultural Relations?
§ Mr. CrossI have been asked to reply. I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given by my predecessor on 22nd March.
§ Mr. RobinsonDoes the hon. Member not think it is time that some real help was given to the Travel Association to enable this country to compete effectively with foreign nations in regard to tourist traffic?
