HC Deb 11 May 1950 vol 475 cc85-6W
100. Mr. R. Robinson

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the Association of Health and Pleasure Resorts has not been allowed to nominate a member to the governing Board of the British Travel and Holidays Association; and whether, in view of the fact that British holidays resorts are unrepresented on this body, he will reverse his previous decision and allow such a nomination.

Mr. Bottomley

It does not rest with the Board of Trade to sanction or refuse the nomination of a member by the Association of Health and Pleasure Resorts to the governing body of the British Travel and Holidays Association. There is no provision in the articles of association of the British Travel and Holidays Association for the nomination of members to the Board by other organisations, except in the case of the Tourist Boards of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
