HC Deb 25 October 1967 vol 751 c1718
23. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what special facilities he plans under Government authority to attract or enable visitors to the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in 1970 in Edinburgh to visit North-East Scotland.

Mr. Millan

The Games will present a splendid opportunity for the attraction of visitors to all parts of Scotland. The Scottish Tourist Board, in concert with the British Travel Association, is already preparing to take full advantage of it.

Mr. Hughes

In thanking my hon. Friend for that constructive Answer, may I ask whether he realises that the Commonwealth Games of 1970 provide a splendid opportunity of conferring on foreign tourists the advantages of the beauties of Royal Deeside, the City of Aberdeen and the Braemar Games?

Mr. Millan

There are very many attractions in Scotland and I am sure that those which my hon. and learned Friend has mentioned will be enjoyed very much by the visitors whom we expect to have in 1970.
