HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 c299W
Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he has any control over the administration or Board of Management of the British Empire Exhibition; and whether any Naval or Air Force officer is on that board?

Mr. LUNN

As I explained in reply to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for the North Division of Salford (Mr. Tillett) on Thursday, 14th February, the British Empire Exhibition is not organised by the Government, and consequently I am not in control of its administration or of the Board of Management. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.
