HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 c154W
Mr. Laurance Reed

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether it will be possible to give special allowances and grants to the tourist industry when Great Britain joins the Common Market.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I do not consider that there is anything in Her Majesty's Government policy towards tourism which would be in conflict with the rules and obligations of the Treaty of Rome. My hon. Friend will be aware that Governments of the present member States of the E.E.C. are able to give assistance to their respective tourist industries.
