HC Deb 04 August 1966 vol 733 c164W
Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will initiate discussions with the appropriate local authorities in Northumberland to consider the building of a conference hall in the Tynemouth-Blyth area, as a means of improving the facilities for attracting visitors and tourists, in view of the Government's recent actions in this field.

Mr. Jay

No; but I should of course be pleased to hear from any part of the country about a local initiative for building a conference hall where this was expected to pay its way and to prove an attraction for overseas visitors.
