§ 32. Mr. Gowerasked the President of the Board of Trade why, in view of the successful visit of a Canadian trade mission to Wales earlier this year, he failed to ensure the inclusion of Wales in the itinerary arranged for a trade delegation from Chile now in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganThe members of this mission asked to see particular sections of British industry and their tour was arranged accordingly.
§ Mr. GowerCan my hon. Friend say whether there was any consultation between his or any other Department and the members of the mission before its arrival?
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganThe itinerary was arranged as requested by members of the mission. A number of firms issued invitations to them, but no invitation was issued by a firm in Wales.
