§ 37. Sir H. BRITTAINasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he can give the House any particulars with regard to the recent exhibition in Dunedin, and state whether the expectations entertained with regard to its assistance in the development of inter-Empire trade have been justified?
Mr. SAMUELAll reports received from Dunedin indicate that the exhibition now being held there has proved an unqualified success, and there is every reason to expect that it will exercise a beneficial influence on the development of inter-Imperial trade. I shall take the opportunity, in connection with the Estimate which comes before the House to-morrow, to make a fuller statement on the subject.
