HC Deb 28 November 1988 vol 142 c110W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list those representations he has received on the tourism review, by organisations and by individuals.

Mr. Lee

The review team has consulted and received representations from a wide range of those involved with the tourism industry, including representative associations, firms in the various sectors of the industry, public sector bodies and individuals. Consultation has been on an individual and confidential basis and it would not be appropriate to publish a detailed list.

Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the progress and purpose of the tourism review.

Mr. Lee

[holding answer 25 November 1988]: My right hon. Friend announced the tourism review on 18 July. It is due to report to him at the end of the year. Its purpose is to ensure that Government support for the tourism industry continues to be effective and appropriate.
