47. Major Sir GEORGE HAMILTONasked the Prime Minister when he anticipates the British pavilion at the Rio de Janeiro Centenary Exhibition will be handed over to the Brazilian Government; and whether he will take steps to secure that the presentation will be made by a personage who will emphasise the importance of this national gift?
The PRIME MINISTER {Mr. Bonar Law)No date has yet been announced by the Brazilian Government for the closing of the Brazilian Centenary Exhibition, and I am, therefore, not in a position to say when the British pavilion will be handed over to Brazil. As regards the last part of the question, I can assure my hon. Friend that every endeavour will be made to secure that the ceremony of presentation shall be worthy of the occasion.
