§ 89. Major CARVERasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Government proposes to set on foot any national organisation to popularise the need for buying British goods as against all foreign imported articles; and, if not, whether he will consider the establishment of such an organisation without delay?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister)The Press and other agencies are already doing a great deal to impress on the people of this country the need for a whole-hearted response to the appeal recently made on this matter by the Prime Minister, and will, I am sure, continue their activities in this respect. My hon. and gallant Friend will also remember that the work of the Empire Marketing Board is designed to foster the purchase of the goods and products of the Empire.
