HC Deb 22 July 1954 vol 530 c138W
72. Mr. Amery

asked the President of the Board of Trade Why the United Kingdom Trade Commissioner in New Zealand was instructed to refuse United Kingdom participation in a trade exhibition organised by the Empire Service League of New Zealand; and why it is the policy of the Government to limit United Kingdom participation in overseas trade exhibitions to exhibitions which are held in dollar countries.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

No such instructions were given, nor is this the policy of Her Majesty's Government. In fact, the majority of overseas trade exhibitions in which the Government participates are outside the dollar area.
