§ 64. Mr. Tilneyasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will now make a further statement about plans for the projection of the Commonwealth in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. AlportYes. The Touring Commonwealth Exhibition will open in Liverpool in November and thereafter will be shown in Leeds, Birmingham, and Norwich before the end of the financial year. My noble Friend is most grateful to the lord mayors of these cities for the co-operation which they are giving in the organisation of Commonwealth Weeks when the Exhibition is in their areas. We are enlisting the help of a wide range of voluntary effort, and Commonwealth High Commissioners and the representatives of Colonial Governments in London are giving us their full cooperation. We are also making progress with the lecture programmes and other measures outlined in the White Paper on the Information Services (Cmnd. 685).
