§ 75. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department what arrangements have been made for British exhibits at the International Overseas Exhibition at the Bois de Vincennes, near Paris, to be held next May?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. W. R. Smith)While for reasons of economy His Majesty's Government are not participating in the main part of the International Colonial Exhibition, near Paris, they are organising an inquiry bureau in the "Cite des Informations" which adjoins it. There will be no space available for commercial exhibits in this bureau, and as the exhibition authorities are not erecting an international pavilion British commercial firms will not have an opportunity of exhibiting.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs not this a very curious anomaly, to lose an opportunity of advertising British goods?
