HC Deb 07 November 1932 vol 270 cc35-6W
Mr. GLEDHILL

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the names of the members of the Exhibition Advisory Committee; what interests these members represent; and if the exhibitors were consulted in the formation of this committee?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

I assume that my hon. Friend refers to the Ex- hibitors' Advisory Committee for the London section of the British Industries Fair. This committee, which consists of 30 members representative of the principal industries participating, advises my Department on al] matters relating to the organisation of the fair. Members of the committee, who must he exhibitors at the fair, are nominated and elected by their fellow exhibitors, and the present membership is the result of an election recently held. I am sending my hon. Friend a list of the members, with particulars of the trades they represent.
