Answer: Mr. Michael Jabez Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what is his assessment of the impact of the Budget on the tourism industry. [83419] Janet Anderson: The 1999 Budget continues to lock in long-term economic stability, leaving behind the boom and bust of the late 1980s and early 1990s. It delivers a better deal for business and enterprise by introducing further measures to increase investment, promote innovation, strengthen competition and improve skills. It is good for businesses of all types, including those in the tourism industry.
