HC Deb 02 February 1988 vol 126 c558W
80. Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what information he has on the amount of investment that took place in new hotels in the United Kingdom in 1987.

Mr. Lee

Comparable information is not available for the United Kingdom as a whole. However, English tourist board estimates show that over £318 million was invested in projects with a value of £0.5 million or more in new hotels, extensions and refurbishments in 1987.
