13. Captain Ryder

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he is taking to assist the Premier of Saskatchewan during his visit to this country for the purpose of promoting United Kingdom trade and participation in the development of Saskatchewan's natural resources.

Mr. Mackeson

Her Majesty's Government welcome the visit to this country of the Premier of Saskatchewan, and both my right hon. Friend and I look forward to meeting him while he is here. We hope that Mr. Douglas will be able to tell us how we can help, and that we can discuss with him ways of promoting United Kingdom trade and participation in the development of Saskatchewan's natural resources.

Captain Ryder

Can we be assured that this distinguished Canadian will receive every possible assistance, bearing in mind that he has taken a most commendable initiative in coming over here for a very worthwhile object?

Mr. Mackeson

Yes, Sir.
