asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether steps are being taken by His Majesty's Government to attract increased tourist traffic to this country from abroad during the period of the Jubilee celebrations?

His Majesty's Government are not taking steps in the direction indicated by my hon. Friend, but the Travel and Industrial Development Association which receives financial support from His Majesty's Government, is making widely known abroad, the many interesting events taking place in this country this year. There is every reason to believe that a very large number of visitors are proposing to come.

Is someone keeping a sharp eye on the crooks who come in, better known as scientific pocket pinchers?
