HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 cc1651-2
29. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he will arrange for his Department to remind applicants for space at the next British Industries Fair that unsuitable staffing of stalls is likely to reduce the efficiency of the fair for securing foreign and home orders for goods?

28. Mr. REID

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the complaints made that some stall-holders at the recent British Industries Fair did not place at their stalls salesmen with suitable authority and efficiency for dealing with the inquiries of buyers, he will, in future, take steps to avoid such difficulties?

Mr. GILLETT

My Department will certainly point out to exhibitors at the next fair, as it has done in the past, the importance of having competent salesmen in attendance on their stands.
