HC Deb 26 April 1994 vol 242 cc145-6W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many submissions he has received about the future structure of the tourist industry in the highlands; and what percentages favoured(a) a single highland area toursit board or (b) more than one highland area tourist board.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 20 April 1994]: All the options recommended to me by the Scottish tourist board favoured a single ATB for the highlands. I received 16 unsolicited representations from organisations suggesting various alternative structures. I also received 86 similar representations from members of ATBs at the request of their boards. Two representations supported the STB advice.
