HC Deb 27 February 1968 vol 759 c327W
Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, what representation has been afforded to the tourist industry on each English regional planning council other than the South-East.

Mr. Alan Williams

As Council members are appointed as individuals and not as representatives of particular interests, the tourist industry is not represented as such on any council. The wide range of knowledge and experience among Council members should, however, ensure that the necessary attention is paid to tourism by all Councils.
