HC Deb 24 February 1966 vol 725 cc620-1
Q2. Mr. Blaker

asked the Prime Minister whether the public statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in London on 5th January, 1966, on holidays abroad and the balance of payments represents Government policy.

Mr. George Brown

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friend answered this Question on 17th February.

Mr. Blaker

If the Government wish to encourage our own people to spend their holidays in Britain and foreigners to come here, how can they possibly justify proposals which deprive the hotel and catering industry of investment grants while giving such grants to the manufacturers of one-armed bandits?

Mr. Brown

That is a totally different question. If the hon. Gentleman would like to table it, I will provide him with a satisfactory answer.
