§ 31. Sir P. Hannonasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has had under consideration the provision of facilities to enable British manufacturers 3021 to exhibit at the Industries Fair at Barcelona, which takes place during the month of June; and if negotiations are in process to provide accommodation for British exhibitors who desire to exhibit at that Fair.
§ Mr. BottomleyThe usual facilities are available to manufacturers who wish to exhibit at the Barcelona International Trade Fair. Negotiations for space take place between the exporter or his Spanish agent and the Fair authorities without the necessity for intervention by His Majesty's Government.
§ Sir P. HannonAre the Board of Trade taking any steps at all to advertise this exhibition and to offer facilities to those who would like to exhibit British goods there; and would not this help to bring us closer to Spain, which is so desirable in the interests of Spain and of ourselves?
§ Mr. BottomleyThe usual facilities are being provided.
