Business question from Hugh Bayley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The falling value of the pound against other currencies creates important opportunities for export industries and inbound tourism. In fact, it would be accurate for advertisements to be placed in the eurozone or United States saying, ““Come to Britain for your holiday—30 per cent. off last year's price.”” May we have a debate to discuss what the Government could do to exploit the exchange rate to help tourism businesses and export industries in the UK?
