Commander WILLIAMSasked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he can now indicate how much space has been let to exhibitors at the coming British Industrial Fair; how much is still unlet; and when it is proposed to open the fair in London next spring?
§ Mr. GILLETTThe space allotted to exhibitors amounts to 250,300 square feet. Only some 800 square feet have still to be finally allotted, but as applications exceed the available space by more than 10,000 square feet the hon. Member will recognise that no further applications for space can be considered. The fair will open as usual on the third Monday in February, 17th February, and will remain open until 28th February.
