§ Mr. Adleyasked the Paymaster General if, in seeking to promote tourism from the United States of America, he will make it his policy to use every opportunity open to him to highlight the fact that the level of homicide and violence in the United States of America far exceeds that in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierI am well aware of my hon. Friend's concern about this issue and I can assure him that we shall do all we can to reassure potential American visitors that Britain is a safe destination. We shall certainly exploit every appropriate opportunity to put the risk from terrorism in its proper context.
