§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe Government have today published a further report entitled "Action for Jobs in Tourism" which provides a detailed review of progress on the action points in "Pleasure. Leisure and Jobs" and describes other new developments, either planned or already in progress, which will help to strengthen tourism's contribution to employment generation.

It is the Government's intention to publish an annual survey of tourism activities on these lines, complementing the annual reports of the statutory tourist boards.
