§ Mr. Matthew Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the potential for job creation in the tourist industry.
§ Mr. LeeIn recent years there has been substantial growth in the number of employees in those industries which most directly serve tourists (up by 46,000 in the hotel, catering and leisure and recreational services sectors in the year to March 1987).
On the basis of the indication we have so far, I would expect to see further significant growth in jobs in these industries in 1987.
