§ 52. Mr. Forthasked the Paymaster General what steps he will take to improve the value for money obtained from grant-in-aid to the English tourist board.
§ Mr. TrippierI have already asked the board to make proposals in the course of this year for the introduction of performance measures and value for money criteria, in line with the principles of the financial management initiative. Ways of improving value for money will also be among the aspects covered by a financial management survey shortly to be undertaken jointly by my Department, the ETB and the British Tourist Authority, under the general arrangements for periodic reviews of the activities and performance of non-departmental public bodies.
