HC Deb 29 January 1952 vol 495 cc14-5W
93. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many of the 700,000 visitors from abroad who came to Britain last year included Scotland in their itinerary.

Mr. H. Hopkinson

No official figures are available, but I am informed by the British Travel and Holidays Association that the number is provisionally estimated at about 215,000. I can assure my hon. and gallant Friend that both the British Travel and Holidays Association and the Scottish Tourist Board will continue their efforts to ensure that Scotland gets its proper share of overseas visitors.
