HC Deb 23 September 1931 vol 256 c1652W
Mr. WEST

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the amount of unsold space at the British Industries Fair, Olympia, accommodation could be offered to the large number of late textile section exhibitors who have been unable to take space at the White City on account of the high prices charged there?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no reason to think that the amount of space at present unlet at Olympia will not be taken before the Fair opens. In the circumstances there is not sufficient reason to alter the arrangements which have been made at the request of the textile industry, namely, that the whole of the exhibitors of that industry should be grouped together and should have stands of the same high standard as at the last Fair.
