§ Mr. FearnTo ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what plans he has for increasing the English Tourist Board's funding to match that of the other tourist boards. [1653]
§ Mr. Tom ClarkeI shall be considering the funding for the English Tourist Board, and for the British Tourist Authority, alongside that for all the other areas for which I am responsible, in due course. Government support for tourism takes many forms, and cannot be measured solely in terms of grant to the tourist boards.
