HC Deb 20 January 1971 vol 809 c292W
Mr. William Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the total number of visitors and tourists from overseas and from other parts of the United Kingdom, respectively, to Scotland in each of the years 1964 to 1970 at the nearest convenient date; and whether any extension to the licensing hours was made in that period.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The best estimates that can be made on available data are as follows:

Year Visitors from overseas Millions Visitors from other parts of the United Kingdom Millions
1964 0.36 2.3
1965 0.40 2.4
1966 0.41 2.2
1967 0.47 2.2
1968 0.53 2.7
1969 0.54 3.0
1970 Figures not yet available

During this period there was no change in the licensing laws governing permitted hours.
