§ 51. Mr. Sorensenasked the President of the Board of Trade what action he will take, in conjunction with the British Travel and Holidays Association, to pre-vent the recurrence of the incident of 39W colour discrimination against an American coloured officer at the hotel, of which particulars have been sent to him.
§ Mr. H. StraussWithout expressing any opinion on the matters alleged in this particular case, my right hon. Friend very much deplores discrimination on grounds of colour. He fully supports the British Travel and Holidays Association in the importance it has always attached to hotels and catering establishments extending a courteous welcome to all visitors.
