79. Air-Commodore Harveyasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is satisfied with the type of advertisements appearing in the British Travel and Holidays Association magazine "Coming Events"; and if he will arrange for these advertisements to be more selective, thus giving a better impression of British products and amenities for tourists.
§ The Secretary for Overseas Trade (Mr. Bottomley)The choice of advertisements for "Coming Events" is a matter for the British Travel and Holidays Association and is made on a commercial basis. I understand that their policy is to select advertisements for those goods and services most likely to interest overseas visitors.
Air-Commodore HarveyIs the hon. Gentleman aware that one advertisement in the last issue represented a Dutch 205 shipping line, and will he have a word with the people running this magazine to see that the advertisements are more representative of British industry?
§ Mr. BottomleyI will look into that.
