HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 c34W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in consultation with the Tourist Development Board in Scotland, he will plan a Scottish holiday town in the remoter parts of the Highlands and Islands, with sea, mountaineering and other facilities with air, road and rail connection.

Mr. Westwood

I could not contemplate the diversion of building labour and materials to such a project at present. The Scottish Tourist Board are, however, anxious to increase and improve the tourist accommodation available in the Highlands and Islands and both I and my hon. Friend the Secretary for Overseas Trade, who has been charged with a special responsibility for tourist matters, will be glad to give them any help we can.
