HC Deb 22 May 1990 vol 173 cc163-4W
42. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what steps his Department is taking to promote the codes of practice contained in the environmental litter charter among organisations and businesses involved in tourism.

Mr. Nicholls

Through the English tourist board and the regional tourist boards, my Department supports a number of anti-litter initiatives. The litter charter, which was launched by my noble Friend Lord Strathclyde, is a joint London tourism forum initiative, but I am sure that other regions will wish to consider adopting a similar approach.
