Sir H. BRITTAUNasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is able to give any further information as to the participation by British exhibitors in the forthcoming exhibition at Gothenburg and to outline in what particular manner his Department is prepared to assist them?
§ Sir S. HOAREYes, Sir. I am glad to say that considerable progress has been made. The Committee to which I referred in my reply on 22nd March to the hon and gallant Member for Hertford (Rear-Admiral Sueter) has considered proposals submitted by the Society of British Aircraft Constructors, Limited, on behalf of the British air industry, for the despatch of a representative British exhibit to Gothenburg. I hope that the Air Ministry will be able to make a substantial contribution in aid of the expenditure which will be involved.
