HC Deb 23 June 1930 vol 240 cc821-2W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will consider the possibility of extending the activities of the Empire Marketing Board to cover the work of encouraging people of all nations to spend their holidays in various parts of the British Empire?

Mr. THOMAS

The extension of the activities of the Empire Marketing Board suggested by the hon. Member would not appear to fall within the purposes for which the Board was founded and for which the funds at its disposal are voted by Parliament, namely, for furthering the marketing in this country of Empire products.
