HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 cc182-3W
100. Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in view of the fact that a large part of Government funds provided to the English Tourist Board is to be spent on a publicity campaign to persuade English people to holiday in England, with a view to improving the balance of payments so far as tourism and travel is concerned, he is prepared to take steps to give financial assistance to a similar organisation established to encourage British people to buy more British goods to assist further the balance of payments.

Mr. Grant

No. This would not be in the best interests of our trade.
