HC Deb 15 February 1949 vol 461 c943
46. Major Guy Lloyd

asked the Lord President of the Council what scale of fees or other remuneration is to be paid to architects, exhibition designers and the like for the 1951 Exhibition in London and in the provinces.

The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)

There are a number of special factors which affect the fees to be paid for this work and these will be discussed with the appropriate professional bodies.

Major Lloyd

Is the right hon. Gentleman prepared to give an assurance that every possible consideration will be given to a major share of the work going to British designers rather than to foreigners, as I understand there are many who would be glad of such an assurance?

Mr. Morrison

I will certainly ask that the hon. and gallant Gentleman's representation shall be taken into full account.
