§ 47. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the apparent success of the Lord Privy Seal in opening up new markets in Canada for British coal and steel, he proposes to make arrangements for a series of visits to all the Dominions by members of the Government with a view to increasing our export trade with these Dominions in respect of every kind of British produce and manufacture?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am glad that the hon. Member appreciates the success of the Lord Privy Seal's mission to Canada. No further visits by Ministers to the Dominions are in immediate contemplation, but should occasion arise for such a visit offering similar prospects, the hon. Member may rest assured that the opportunity will be taken.
§ Mr. SOMERVILLEIn view of the success of the visit of the Lord Privy Seal, and the increase of unemployment in this country, why not send other Ministers to procure more work?
