<font size="2" face="Arial" color="Black"><p>The news that Wales and Scotland are not party to the recently launched ETC's grading scheme and that Blackpool hoteliers are ignoring the scheme in favour of introducing their own grading system has prompted some of our readers to comment. Below is a letter on the subject from a hotelier in Wales.</p>
<p>"It was with interest but no surprise that I read your report on the rejection by Blackpool accommodation providers of the BTA grading scheme. This same scheme was also rejected several years ago by the whole of the trade in Scotland and Wales because it bears little relevance to the quality of the experience of visitors.</p>
<p>The government of the time had asked the Tourist Boards and Automobile Associations to come up with a unified grading scheme for Britain which would:-</p>

<p>Firstly the scheme, designed by the English Tourism Council, the AA and the RAC, only applies to premises in England. Hotels and guest houses in Scotland and Wales are excluded.</p>
