§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his strategic guidance note 1996–97 to the chairman of the Wales tourist board, if he will list the principal differences between the recommendations of the English tourist board hotel accommodation grading and classification scheme review and the Wales tourist board scheme; if he will arrange for copies of the English tourist board review and the Wales tourist board research into grading and classification schemes to be placed in the Library; if he will publish the findings of the Wales tourist board report to him in September 1996; and if he will make a statement. [23133]
§ Mr. HagueThe English tourist board has yet to present its proposals for revising its classification and grading schemes to Department of National Heritage Ministers. It will be doing so shortly, with the industry then consulted on any proposed changes.
The placing of the English tourist board review papers in the Library is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for National Heritage; however, I will arrange for copies of the Wales tourist board's research to be placed in the Library. When I receive the WTB's report I will consider its publication.
