§ Sir N. Cooper-Keyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Eire, Jersey and the Isle of Man, as well as certain continental countries, now have in force schemes, particulars of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Hastings, under which loans on favourable terms can be made available for the improvement of hotels; and whether, in view of the importance of the tourist industry to this country, he will make an investigation of these various schemes with a view to introducing similar facilities in Great Britain.
Mr. AmoryI am aware that in some other countries hotels are given assistance from public funds. A case for doing the same, however, in this country has not been made out.
