§ Commander Scott-Millerasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the extensive development projects which the Government of the Union of Burma are considering, he will propose a visit by an industrial delegation to Burma to examine what contribution British industry can make to this development.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftYes. I have decided to send a small delegation of prominent industrialists to Burma in March. The Government of the Union of Burma have said that they would welcome such a delegation and I am glad to say that Lord Burghley has accepted my invitation to lead it. The delegation's main concern will be with the Burmese Government's long-term plans for developing the resources of the country.
