asked Her Majesty's Government: What progress has been made in removing obstacles to tourism and improving job prospects in the industry since publication of their report Pleasure, Leisure and Jobs—The Business of Tourism in July 1985.

The Secretary of State for Employment (Lord Young of Graffham)

The Government have today published a further report entitledAction for Jobs in Tourism, which provides a detailed review of progress on the action points in Pleasure, Leisure and Jobs and describes other new developments, either planned or already in progress, which will help to strengthen tourism's contribution to employment generation. Copies of the report have been placed in the Library. It is the Government's intention to publish an annual survey of tourism activities on these lines, complementing the annual reports of the statutory tourist boards.
