§ 24. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department how much has been provided in the Estimates for his Department for 1925–26 in respect of catalogue libraries and sample rooms, respectively, at British Consulates all over the world?
Mr. SAMUELOverseas officers of His Majesty's Government under the control of this Department are encouraged to display catalogues, of British manufacturers, in rooms available to the public, but the cost of these arrangements cannot be separated from the general expenditure on their office arrangements.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSDoes the right hon. Gentleman think that an ample sum is provided for such expenditure?
