HC Deb 06 March 1998 vol 307 c814W
Mr. Rapson

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how the culture, media, sports and tourism sectors will benefit from the New Deal. [32290]

Mr. Chris Smith

The New Deal will deliver benefits in all the sectors for which my Department is responsible. The tourism, hospitality and leisure industry is particularly well placed to benefit, as a major employer with the potential to create many more jobs over the next decade. The creative industries can also use New Deal to ensure an adequate skills base for the future.
