HC Deb 18 May 1931 vol 252 c1584
37. Major COLVILLE

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department to what extent the British Government are participating in the International Colonial Exhibition in Paris?

Mr. W. R. SMITH

While for reasons of economy His Majesty's Government will not participate in the main section of the International Colonial Exhibition near Paris, they have taken space in the Cite des Informations which adjoins the main exhibition. The principal component parts of the British section, which occupies an area of 3,000 square feet, are exhibits illustrating the advance of tropical medicine in combating disease in the British Colonies and Protectorates, an Inquiry Bureau, part of which deals with inquiries relating to colonial and other matters and part of which has been arranged by the Travel Association.

Forward to
