HC Deb 02 November 1930 vol 134 cc166-7
11. Mr. WADDINGTON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has received any report of the inadequate representation of British industries at the recent Toronto Exhibition; and whether he proposes to take any action to influence British traders to exhibit in subsequent years, having regard to the great importance of the exhibition?

Mr. KELLAWAY

I am fully aware of the importance of this exhibition. Mr. Field, His Majesty's Trade Commissioner at Toronto, who organised a Bureau of Information at the exhibition, has furnished me with a Report from which it is evident that a more adequate representation of United Kingdom industries is very desirable in future years. The Department of Overseas Trade will be glad to give any assistance it can with a view to securing this end, and is taking the opportunity of a visit which Mr. Field is at present paying to this country to discuss with him the steps which can best be taken.

Forward to
