§ 35. Mr. C. S. Taylorasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will announce the names of those who have been invited to serve on the British Travel and Holidays Association; giving, in addition, the interest each person represents.
§ Mr. TaylorIs the Minister satisfied that all those interested in tourism are represented adequately?
