HC Deb 23 February 1931 vol 248 cc1743-4
38. Mr. DOUGLAS HACKING

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is in a position to state the amount granted by the German Government towards advertising the Leipzig Fair?

Mr. GILLETT

I am informed that no grant has been made by the German Government to the Leipzig Fairs of 1931.

Mr. HACKING

How is the fair financed as far as advertising is concerned?

Mr. GILLETT

I have no information, but last year it was financed by the German Government and the year before by the Government of Saxony. If the right hon. Gentleman will put down a question, I will try to find out.
