HC Deb 06 February 1947 vol 432 c381W
22. Sir P. Macdonald

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that local authorities are at the present time prevented from spending more than the produce of a rate of 1⅓d. on advertising the district as a health resort or watering-place; and whether, in view of the desirability of encouraging the tourist industry, he will make arrangements to increase this to a maximum of 3d.

Mr. Bevan

The limit referred to is fixed by Statute, and I am afraid that I can hold out no prospect of amending legislation in the near future.
