HC Deb 06 December 1967 vol 755 c328W
105. Mr. Rees-Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce measures to ensure the provision of long-term loans for development and modernisation by the hotel and catering industry.

106. Mr. Costain

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he has to assist the hotel and catering industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

I hope to be able to make a statement about the future of the hotel loan scheme before the Christmas Recess. Assistance to caterers who are not hotel-keepers would be a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
