§ 1. Mr. Ellis Smithasked the President of the Board of Trade whether it has yet been decided to hold an international exhibition and fair in Great Britain when the International Convention will allow of it being held; and will he consider the areas of Trentham, Manchester or Black-pool for the fair and that all forms of trade, sport and other human activities be represented and also consider the need for a representative committee in order that the best possible arrangements can be made to ensure a successful exhibition?
§ The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Oliver Stanley)The International Convention on this subject would not permit of the holding of an international exhibition in this country before 1944. No proposal has been made to me for the organisation of such an exhibition in that or any subsequent year.
