HC Deb 01 March 1922 vol 151 c415W
Mr. KENYON

asked the Prime Minister whether, before deciding upon any remodelling of the activities of the Department of Overseas Trade, he will ascertain the views of the Dominion authorities as to the value of trade commissioners in promoting Imperial trade?

Mr. YOUNG

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer does not think it would be practicable for him to take the specific action suggested by my hon. Friend, but the Imperial aspect of the question must obviously be considered. He is satisfied that the work of trade commissioners in promoting Imperial trade is of great value.
