Mr. Key

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many bed nights for Great English City Breaks were sold between(a) October 1987 and February 1988 and (b) October 1986 and February 1987.

Mr. Lee

Exact figures for the periods specified are not available, because of the different methods of record-keeping employed by the cities involved in the city breaks promotion. However, ETB estimates are:

  • October 1987 to February 1988=20,000 bed nights sold.
  • October 1986 to February 1987=5,000 bed nights sold.
