asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects that the group set up under the chairmanship of the Minister without Portfolio to review obstacles to the development of tourism and leisure will report; and if the report will be published.

The group's report was published today and I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library. The report outlines the major and increasing contribution which tourism and leisure are making to the economy and describes action which the Government are taking to remove impediments to the industry's further growth.
