§ 34. Mr. HACKINGasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the number of British firms which will be exhibiting at the trade exhibition to be opened shortly in Buenos Aires, and the number of different British industries which will be on view?
§ Mr. W. R. SMITHAccording to the latest information received from Buenos Aires the number of United Kingdom firms which have booked space at the British Empire Trade Exhibition is 947. It is probable, however, that this figure has been exceeded by now. In addition 52 Canadian firms and one Australian firm have taken space. The exhibits will include examples of practically all classes of goods manufactured in this country which are exportable to South America.
