Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that certain seaside resorts are now advertising their attractions to induce visitors during the coming summer; and whether he will define in advance his attitude towards a campaign of this nature?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerI have seen it stated in the Press that the authorities of one seaside town have authorised expenditure for advertising the attractions of their resort. I deprecate any campaign the effect of which is to induce additional travel.
