§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade what Government grants the English Tourist Board received in the year 1967; and what was the total amount under each heading of grant.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuThere is no English Tourist Board. The British Travel Association is the Government's chosen instrument for the promotion of tourism to all parts of the United Kingdom for which it will receive, subject to Parliamentary approval, grants in aid amounting to£2,826,000 for the year 1967–68.
§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will break down the£300,000 special grant provided by Her Majestys Government for the current 102W Holidays in Britain campaign into headings, showing under each heading the amount spent in Scotland, Wales and England, respectively.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuI regret that information on the lines sought by the hon. Member is not available and could not be obtained without disproportionate expenditure by the British Travel Association. The B.T.A. are conducting this campaign in conjunction with and with the full co-operation of the Scottish Tourist Board, the Wales Tourist Board, regional travel associations and other local bodies, for the benefit of the country as a whole.
