HC Deb 12 June 1941 vol 372 c348W
Mr. Dodd

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he will consider going abroad himself, as the official representative of the Export Council to develop British exports with the dollar or hard currency countries and other countries outside the sterling area?

Mr. Johnstone

The suggestion made by the hon. Member is not practicable, but I am sure he will be glad to have read in the Press this morning the announcement that my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade has appointed Sir Kenneth Lee as Representative of the Council in the United States.
