HC Deb 14 April 1959 vol 603 c787
10. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the nature and kind of Scottish products which will be on exhibition at the forthcoming Lisbon Trade Exhibition.

Sir D. Eccles

I am informed that among the Scottish products on display will be ships, marine engines, heating equipment, food machinery, agricultural machinery, pumps, contractors' plant, scientific instruments, textiles and clothing, sports goods, foodstuffs, furniture, glassware and linoleum.

Mr Hector Hughes

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for that comprehensive reply. Has he been invited to play any part in the compilation of the catalogue with a view to ensuring that justice is done to United Kingdom products at this exhibition?

Sir D. Eccles

The F.B.I. is looking after that and I have every reason to think that it can do so very efficiently.
