Oral Answers to Questions

Simon Hart Excerpts

Wednesday 27th February 2013 Commons Chamber

[Simon Hart (Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire) (Con)]

13. What plans his Department has to support Wales tourism week.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Wales (Stephen Crabb)]

Wales Office Ministers will undertake a range of visits to attractions across Wales to celebrate Wales tourism week and to raise awareness of the tourism industry’s vital importance to the Welsh economy.

[Simon Hart]

The Minister will know that catering and hospitality are vital parts of the Welsh tourism industry. With that in mind, will he welcome the creation of the Tenby hotel school and all the good it will bring to the whole of Wales? When he is next in the county, will he pay us a visit?

[Stephen Crabb]

I welcome that question from my hon. Friend. I will next be in the area this weekend—he and I have the pleasure and privilege of representing the most beautiful part of the United Kingdom. I very much welcome the new development he has announced; it will be a major boost to tourism not just in Pembrokeshire but across Wales.
