§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for Trade what reductions in staff there will be in the British Tourist Authority after the setting up of the Scottish and Welsh Assemblies.

I do not expect its staffing requirements to be essentially affected by the transfer of responsibility to the Scottish and Welsh administrations for the two national tourist boards concerned, which are, of course, already separately staffed.
