§ Mr. Cordleasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the recent British Hospital Medical Equipment Exhibition sponsored by his Department in Beirut at the Annual Islamic Medical Conference.
§ Mr. MasonThis Exhibition was organised under the Joint Venture Scheme by the Board of Trade in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the British Hospital Export Council and the Scientific Instrument Manufacturers Association of Great Britain. The products of 58 British firms were shown to medical specialists from the Lebanon and other countries throughout the Middle East.
I understand that over £45,000 worth of equipment was sold during the Exhibition and inquiries received are expected 261W to lead to business worth very much more. The exhibitors are to be congratulated on their enterprise.
