<strong>Labour</strong> will support tourism at the<br />
heart of government. The tourism<br />
industry represents 9.6 per cent<br />
of UK employment, 4.9 per cent of<br />
export and 9 per cent of GDP, but its<br />
importance is too often forgotten.<br />
<strong>Labour</strong> will ensure that tourism<br />
becomes a national priority again.<br />
We will reinstate the cross-Whitehall<br />
ministerial group on tourism, and<br />
ensure that government ministers<br />
across departments understand<br />
how their roles fit into the national<br />
tourism agenda.<br />
We will reinstate the Agricultural<br />
Wages Board to underpin<br />
employment standards and wages.<br />
We will make utility companies return<br />
roads to a condition no worse than<br />
when they started digging.<br />
The Conservatives have failed<br />
to provide a clear, ambitious or<br />
sustainable vision for the future of the<br />
farming, food and fishing industries.<br />
We will expand the role of the<br />
Groceries Code Adjudicator to<br />
ensure suppliers and consumers<br />
get a fair deal.<br />
e will reconfigure funds for farming<br />
and fishing to support smaller traders,<br />
local economies, community benefits<br />
and sustainable practices.<br />
We will allow EU workers employed<br />
across farming, fishing and food<br />
manufacturing to remain in the UK,<br />
and reinstate the Seasonal Agricultural<br />
Workers Scheme.<br />
