§ Mr. E. BROWNasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, seeing that this country has undertaken an advertising campaign on behalf of Dominion products, any reciprocal arrangement exists or is envisaged under which the Dominions on their part propose to under-take 2191W an advertising campaign in the Dominions in favour of manufactured articles from the United Kingdom?
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThe question of a reciprocal arrangement such as that mentioned is one for the consideration of the Government concerned: in each case so far, I have not heard that any such steps have been taken. I ought to add, however, that the expenditure on the Empire Marketing Board is itself in substitution for certain tariff preferences which it had originally been proposed to give in reciprocity for the preferences given to British trade in Dominion markets.
