§ 81. Mr. R. A. TAYLORasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he will consider the organisation of a national fair on the lines of the Leipzig fair; and how many sectional exhibitions have been held in Great Britain in the last two years?
§ Mr. GILLETT (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)I am unable to make any statement in reply to the first part of the question pending the report of the Chelmsford Committee. With regard to the second part, I am aware of about 140 such exhibitions.
§ Mr. TAYLORDoes not the hon. Member consider that a unified national effort would be much better than a large number of sectional exhibitions?
§ Mr. GILLETTWe are awaiting the report of the Chelmsford Committee on the whole question.
