HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 c436W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now nominate certain areas as tourism development areas, separately from the present classification of industrial development areas.

Mr. Deakins

I have been asked to reply.

There is no reason to establish separate tourism development areas. The present development areas identify those parts of the country whose resources are limited and for which development assistance is desirable in the widest sense, not merely in respect of manufacturing industry.
