§ Mr. Milneasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will undertake to initiate discussions with the hotel industry in Great Britain and with overseas Governments for the purpose of drawing up a 98W standardised international system of symbols for indicating the facilities available at hotels and other similar establishments.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe British Travel Association is considering extending the range of basic accommodation symbols which it has already drawn up and published in consultation with other tourist organisations in this country. As a member of the International Union of Official Tourist Organisations, the Association is also co-operating in the work of the Union's European Committee which is considering the use and possible standardisation of symbols to indicate hotel facilities. In these circumstances, I doubt whether any additional action by the Board of Trade is necessary at this stage.
