HC Deb 16 May 1984 vol 60 c190W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the likely financial effect on 1he tourism industry in Wales of the decision to impose a new television licence arrangement for hotels.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

There is no comprehensive information available on the number of television sets in hotel bedrooms. However, of those hotels registered with the Wales Tourist Board, 68 per cent. have 15 rooms or less and will not be required to take out any additional licences under the new arrangements.
