§ 122. Sir W. Anstruther-Grayasked the President of the Board of Trade how many British tourists visited the United States of America in the last twelve months for reasons other than business or officially sponsored purposes: and how this figure compares with the number of United States tourists who visited Great Britain.
§ Mr. Erroll:A total of 16,000 residents of the United Kingdom visited the United States of America by sea during 1956. Comparable figures for air travel are not available, nor is it possible to distinguish between business visitors and tourists. 271,000 residents of the United States of America visited the United Kingdom during 1956, of whom approximately 227,000 were tourists.
