HC Deb 13 July 1993 vol 228 cc442-3W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will set out the terms of reference for his Department's inquiry into removing unnecessary regulations in the tourism industry.

Mr. Sproat

The inquiry will identify first those regulations which place needless and excessive burdens on the tourism industry, and secondly the action required to free business from the harmful effect of those regulations. It will also determine what action is necessary to ensure that the interests of the tourism industry are taken fully into account before regulations are put in place in future.

Mr. Nigel Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what measures are being taken by his Department to ease the burden of regulation on the tourist industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sproat

I refer to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Falmouth and Camborne (Mr. Coe) on 14 June 1993 at column619.
