§ 5. Mr. Blakerasked the Secretary of State for Trade when he last met the Chairman of the English Tourist Board.
§ Mr. BlakerDid the right hon. Gentleman discuss with the Chairman of the Board—and if he did not, will he?—the present arrangement by which financial assistance for tourist projects from the three principal Boards is limited to the development areas? Does the right hon. Gentleman think that "Come to sunny Skelmersdale for your summer holidays" is a good slogan—with all respect to Skelmersdale?
§ Mr. ShoreResources are at present severely limited. Given the wide range of areas that are now scheduled as development areas, it makes sense to concentrate what resources there are on promoting tourism in those areas.
