To ask the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he is taking to ensure that travel agents and tour operators have sufficient funds to cover their commitments in the event of their ceasing to trade.

27. Mr. McKelvey

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he is taking to ensure that travel agents and tour operators have sufficient funds to cover the risk of collapse.

No further steps are being taken. The Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 require that organisers and/or retailers should at all times be able to provide sufficient evidence of security for the refund of money paid over and for the repatriation of the consumer in the event of insolvency.
