BRITISH TRADE CORPORATION.

HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 cc2065-6W

Mr. BOLAND

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he has taken to associate with the proposed Trade Corporation representatives of Irish trade and commerce?

Mr. ROBERTS

I should explain to my hon. Friend that the proposed British Trade Corporation will not be under Government control, though it will receive the sympathy and encouragement of the Government. Its facilities will be fully available for Irish as well as British enterprises.
