asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he intends to make his consumer advice leaflet about timeshare properties available to Britons travelling abroad.

The leaflet is freely available to anyone who requests it. My Department is operating a 24-hour telephone service for such requests on 01–215 3344. Copies are also available at Citizens Advice Bureaux, some airport information centres, through many travel agents and at selected consular offices abroad.
