23. Mr. HOLDSWORTH

asked the President of the Board of Trade, if he has the assistance of technical experts representing the woollen and worsted sections of the textile industries in the conversations now in progress with the representatives of certain foreign Powers; and, if so, whether he will state by whom, or on whose advice, these experts were appointed?

Lieut.-Colonel J. COLVILLE (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

I have arranged for consultation as occa- sion arises with technical experts in these industries. Their names have been supplied by the Association of Chambers of Commerce and the Federation of British Industries.
