HC Deb 27 February 1939 vol 344 c921W
Mr. Liddall

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether he is aware that the success of the British Industries Fair greatly depends upon the individual selling abilities of those in charge of trade exhibits; and will he annually circularise firms proposing to exhibit to remind them that it is prefer able that their exhibits should be under the charge of persons skilled in salesman ship rather than of those who are merely representatives of the exhibitors?

Mr. Cross

I have been asked to reply. As my right hon. Friend is quite sure that the exhibitors are in full agreement with the suggestion made in the first part of the question, he thinks an annual reminder of the nature suggested is unnecessary.
