HC Deb 04 December 2001 vol 376 cc158-9W
16. Rosemary McKenna

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if she will make a statement on her action to promote tourism in Scotland in co-ordination with other parts of the United Kingdom. [17502]

Mrs. Liddell

I am in regular contact with the British Tourist Authority and its partners to ensure that Scotland and the whole of the UK is promoted as a tourist destination. Tomorrow evening I shall be speaking at a BTA reception which has been organised to introduce Scottish MPs to the BTA and give them an opportunity to see how Scotland and their own areas are promoted by the BTA.

I am also working closely with the BTA and Visit Scotland on my new initiative to make connections with friends of Scotland across the world.
