§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to statements that there is some intention not to confine sales at the British Empire Exhibition to the products and manufactures of the Empire, but to extend them to those of other countries; and whether, having regard to the guarantee given by His Majesty's Government, he will insist that only goods produced and manufactured within the Empire, shall be sold at the exhibition?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSIn conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies and my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, I am giving the whole question of the British Empire Exhibition my earnest attention, and I should be obliged if my hon. and gallant Friend could see his way to postpone his question until next week.
