Prime Minister Tony Blair today defended the Government's record on looking after the country's seaside resorts.
Speaking during Prime Minister's Questions in the Commons, he said: "It is important that we regenerate our seaside resorts.
"But also, all of our seaside resorts benefit from a strong economy."
Boasting about the Government's achievements over the past decade, Mr Blair said: "There has been low interest rates, low unemployment, high employment, and not the disastrous boom and bust policies of the 18 years before us."
