HC Deb 07 November 1932 vol 270 cc9-10
23. Mrs. SHAW

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he will consider making arrangements for the British Industries Fair being held occasionally in Glasgow, with a view to encouraging Scottish trade and industry?

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

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which. I made on 18th April to my hon. Friend the Member for North Lanark (Mr. Anstruther-Gray), of which I am sending her a copy.

Sir ARTHUR MICHAEL SAMUEL

Is it not a fact that if Glasgow desires to have a fair in the same way as Birmingham, and likes to pay for it, she can do what Birmingham does?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

I think my hon. Friend might also look up the answer to which I have referred.
