§ Mr. LeeTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what importance he attaches to the involvement of the tourism and hospitality industry in the development of the training and enterprise councils; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NichollsIt is very much in the interests of the tourism industry to become involved in the new training and enterprise councils so that the councils properly address the issues relevant to that industry. From 1 April regional tourist boards will be given much more Government money to help with this process; the North West tourist board, in particular, is already very active in this regard.
