§ 9. Mr. Jannerasked the Lord Privy Seal whether it is intended to increase the amount of publicity at present given to the South Bank Exhibition with a view to increasing the attendances during the remaining period for which it is to be open.
§ Mr. StokesNo, Sir. The news value of the South Bank Exhibition has tended to over-shadow the merits and attractions of some of the other Festival Exhibitions, like the Exhibition of Science and Books at South Kensington and the Exhibition of Architecture at Lansbury, Poplar.
§ Mr. JannerIs my right hon. Friend satisfied that sufficient publicity has been given generally to the Exhibition in the United States, in view of the fact that there has been a disappointing number of visitors from that part of the world?
§ Mr. StokesI think it has, but the others are not so successful, because there are not so many lights and attractions and people do not go to them quite so easily.
