§ Mr. WatersonTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what assessment he has made of the likely impact of the channel tunnel on the United Kingdom tourism industry.
§ Mr. DorrellI believe that the channel tunnel is an exciting opportunity for the United Kingdom tourism industry. With more than 60 per cent. of visitors to the United Kingdom already coming from western Europe, and France—our second largest market in terms of overseas visitors—there is clearly great potential for the industry to exploit.
