HC Deb 14 June 1993 vol 226 cc625-6
9. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what representations he has had about European signs for tourist attractions.

Mr. Sproat

I have had no such representations.

Mr. Evans

I thank my hon. Friend for his reply. Is he aware that there is a rumour that an elephant is to be used as the sign for a tourist attraction? Does he agree that elephants trumpet a lot, that they are lethargic and that they are very grey? Does he agree that it might be a good idea if the lot opposite changed the red rose to an elephant?

Mr. Sproat

My hon. Friend makes his usual forthright and trenchant contributions to our deliberations.
