MESSRS. EXHIBITION ORGANISERS.

HC Deb 23 September 1931 vol 256 cc1652-3W

Mr. J. GARDNER

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether, in view of the reductions which are now taking place, any economy is to be effected in regard to the present commission paid to Messrs. Exhibition Organisers?

Sir H. YOUNG

The firm in question have a contract with the Department of Overseas Trade under which they are paid for their services on a commission basis. I can see no reason for suggesting any variation in the contract, which is on a strictly business footing.
