Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress has been made in finding a site, and establishing an exhibition centre up to international standards, near London.

Mr. Darling

My noble friend the Minister of State has been studying the problem of finding a suitable site for a National Exhibition Centre with the assistance of a committee including representatives of commerce and industrial bodies, the Greater London Council and Government Departments. We hope soon to he able to announce a decision on whether or not the Government feel able to go ahead with the construction of a National Exhibition Centre.
