§ 16. Mr. Hall-Davisasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement about the work of the economic development committee for hotels and catering.
§ Mrs. Gwyneth DunwoodyReports on the work carried out by the Hotel and Catering Economic Development Committee are published from time to time 1414 by the National Economic Development Office. I understand that copies of these publications are available in the Library.
§ Mr. Hall-DavisWhat progress has been made towards implementing a feasibility study for a nationwide system of computerised reservations? If occupancy could be increased by improved reservation systems would not that be of assistance to profitability and therefore an incentive to investment in the industry?
§ Mrs. DunwoodyThis is the sort of development which we are hoping to see very soon. A considerable amount of activity is taking place and we hope to be able to bring some definite news to the House before long.
