§ Mr. Stephen Rossasked the Secretary of State for Trade how far he has progressed with the revised voluntary code for booking practice for tourist accommodation; and whether the views of all the tourist boards, including the Isle of Wight Tourist Board, have now been sought.
§ Mr. MeacherI and my colleagues the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Wales hope to make an announcement very shortly. As well as consulting those whose co-operation would be needed to get such a code off to a good start, we have naturally consulted the four statutory tourism boards and I trust thereby have obtained views representative of all parts of the country.
