HC Deb 12 May 1971 vol 817 c136W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will increase the annual grant to the English Tourist Board for the improvement of tourist facilities; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The hon. Member will see from the published Civil Estimates that the grant-in-aid proposed for the English Tourist Board for 1971–72 represents a substantial increase over that for the previous year. It includes £500,000 for the new measures of assistance to tourist projects in Development Areas.
