Tourism

Mr. Shersby
asked the Secretary of State for Trade what was the total value of tourist receipts, excluding fares, for the year ended 31st December 1974; and what were the comparable figures for expenditure by United Kingdom residents taking overseas holidays.

Mr. Deakins
Figures are not yet available for the whole of 1974. Those for the first three quarters are shown in Table 2 (page xiv) of the December 1974 issue of "Economic Trends".
