§ Mr. Bill Walkerasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the operation of the Scottish Tourist Board in Perthshire, in the light of the poor season which was experienced by the tourist industry.
§ Mr. YoungerThe level of tourism in Scotland this season has been affected by a number of factors, including the price and availability of petrol and the strength of sterling. The Scottish Tourist Board is now considering the implications of this year's experience for its future policies, and I am in close touch with the Board in this regard.
