Mr. Baker Whiteasked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he proposes to take to ensure that visitors to this country for the Coronation are well received and accommodated and will have the best facilities which can be provided.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftI have informed the Chairman of the British Travel and Holidays Association that the Government look to the Association to take the lead in co-ordinating the various problems which will arise in connection with the accommodation and entertainment of overseas visitors to the Coronation. The Association will of course work in close co-operation with existing organisations; and I am confident that the hotel industry and private householders will play their full part in ensuring that visitors from the Commonwealth and elsewhere overseas are warmly welcomed and are suitably accommodated and entertained.
