Britain for Events approval from PM David Cameron

The UK Prime Minister David Cameron has written a letter to the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Events, Nick de Bois MP, following his correspondence over the launch of the Britain for Events marketing campaign.

The MP promised to help lobby Government on issues including measures to tackle the issues connected with the Tour Operator Margin Schemes (TOMS) and the reintroduction of investment allowance. He also called on fellow ministers to aid organising committees of major events.

In the letter, Cameron applauds de Bois and the Parliamentary Group for Events for their efforts and says: “Ensuring that Britain is an attractive place to visit is vital to our tourism industry, and the economy as a whole.

“The GREAT campaign which you mentioned will promote the UK as one of the very best places to visit, study, work, invest and do business. It aims to deliver a lasting economic legacy for the whole country from the unprecedented level of interest generated by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
