§ Lord HUGH CECILasked whether the British Government have declined to take part in the International Hygiene Exhibition, to be held at Dresden in 1911; and, if so, for what reason?
§ Sir E. GREYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. His Majesty's Government considered that it would not be practicable to arrange an official exhibit, owing to the reluctance of manufacturers in this country to incur the heavy expenditure involved in frequent participation in large international exhibitions, and in view of the other engagements entered into by His Majesty's Government in respect of other exhibitions to be held during this year and next.
