Proceeding contribution from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.

Welsh Affairs

I hope to catch Mr. Deputy Speaker's eye and speak on the Wylfa issue a little later, but on tourism, given the economic crisis and the weakness of the pound, is there not an opportunity to encourage people from European countries, particularly the Republic of Ireland, to come to Wales over Easter? The hon. Lady talks about a robust policy; should not Visit Wales capitalise on that, and show what good value for money the United Kingdom and Wales are at this time?
