§ Mr. ElletsonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the local authorities in England which employ a director of tourism services or similar.
§ Mr. DorrellI have been asked to reply.
The "Municipal Year Book 1995" lists 177 local authorities in England which employ a "tourism officer". Not all those listed, however, are senior officers or heads of department, or responsible solely for tourism; to distinguish and list those which are would involve disproportionate cost.
