HC Deb 22 January 1968 vol 757 c51W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details of the use of the £75,000 research grant granted to the Tourist Board to find out what is needed to develop tourism.

Mr. Ross

The Scottish Tourist Board has given a full account of the progress made with its three-year research programme in its published annual report for 1966–67.

Projects include a pilot study providing an expert consultancy service on all aspects of hotel and catering management; a survey of hotel accommodation in Edinburgh; an accommodation assessment scheme in Inverness County designed to raise standards; a number of regional and sub-regional studies; and a number of statistical and special activity studies, for example, on snowfields and sea angling.
