HC Deb 11 August 1966 vol 733 c1872
34. Mr. Tilney

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will draw to the attention of the trade commissioners in developing countries which lack protein the British invention, details of which have been sent to him, whereby highly concentrated protein for human consumption can be extracted and stored from purely vegetable matter.

Mr. Jay

I believe that information on this British invention was disseminated through British Embassies and High Commissions overseas some years ago. Those concerned with the sale of the British process should contact my Department for further assistance.

Mr. Tilney

Is the President aware of the advances from America to use this invention under licence so that British products and know-how may well be squeezed out?

Mr. Jay

I was not aware of that, but if those concerned would like to contact my Department I shall be very glad to do what I can to help.
