Tourism

My Lords, I indicated the areas in which we had been able to allocate additional resources to the benefit of tourism. I understand what the noble Lord is saying: he is calling down resources, which is much easier from the opposition Benches, particularly the Liberal Benches, than it is for government. A debate of this kind has the advantage of increasing pressure on government to look closely at whether money is spent fruitfully. We recognise the significance of tourism, and the noble Lord can rest assured that my department will continue to give it a high priority.
