§ Sir W. de FRECEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he will give an exact résumé of the present state of the finance of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, indicating the cost of all the structures so far as this country is concerned, and the extent and nature of the guarantees?
§ Mr. LUNNI beg to refer the hon. Member to the statement which I made on the 14th instant on the Financial Resolution of the British Empire Exhibition Guarantee Bill.
§ Mr. LAMBasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the large number of agriculturists and others who may be expected to visit the official exhibit of the Ministry of Agriculture in the Government building at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in search of information, it is proposed to arrange for supplies of the leaflets and other literature issued by the Department to be available on demand: and, if so, whether immediate steps can be taken to carry this into effect?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe Ministry is not permitted to undertake the sale of publications itself at the British Empire Exhibition, but certain of the Ministry's publications, including bound sets of leaflets, are on sale at the bookstall of the Stationery Office at the entrance to the Ministry's exhibit. I would add that there is a guide lecturer in the Ministry's gallery, who is ready, not only to explain the Ministry's exhibit to all who may be interested, but also to refer them to such leaflets and other publications as may be of assistance in furthering their inquiries.
