HC Deb 20 May 1947 vol 437 cc232-3W
71. Squadron-Leader Kinghorn

asked the President of the Board of Trade under what conditions exhibits from the Empire were allowed into this country for display purposes on the stands at the British Industries Fair.

Mr. Belcher

In accordance with past practice, a very small allocation of space was made at the British Industries Fair in 1947 to Dominion and Colonial Governments to display the products of their countries, but the primary purpose and the major proportion of available space was devoted to United Kingdom goods for export. Such Empire exhibits as it was necessary to bring specially to this country for exhibition at the British Industries Fair in 1947 were allowed entry on an undertaking that the goods were for exhibition only and not for sale in the United Kingdom
