Comments on: Government as bad as Foot & Mouth for UK Tourism! http://windermerelodge.co.uk/wp/2009/11/government-as-bad-as-foot-and-mouth-for-tourism/ Luxury log cabins in the heart of the English Lake District Thu, 04 Aug 2011 21:10:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: David http://windermerelodge.co.uk/wp/2009/11/government-as-bad-as-foot-and-mouth-for-tourism/comment-page-1/#comment-275 David Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:31:00 +0000 http://windermerelodge.co.uk/wp/?p=920#comment-275 Hi, Just to say that the national self-catering organisations in the UK (EASCO, WASCO, NISCHA and ASSC), the Tourism Alliance in London and many others have been working on this since May. Every MP has been contacted by letter and invited to sign the Early Day Motion. Through our pressure, there have been questions raised in the Westminster, Welsh and Scottish parliaments. The Tourism Alliance has had a meeting with HMRC, DCMS and the Treasury, and also a meeting with Margaret Hodge MP, the returning tourism minister. Next up is the pre-budget statement which will come with an impact assessment of the abolition of the FHL rules. Not sure if we can win this, but we have made very sure that those who need the information about the terrible effect this rule change, have it to hand. Hi,
