HC Deb 26 February 1940 vol 357 c1737W
Captain Plugge

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department how much it would cost, both by way of initial subscription and by expense in maintenance, to participate in the World's Fair in New York in 1940?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

Precise plans for participation by His Majesty's Government in the New York World's Fair, 1940, have not yet been finally determined, but I anticipate that the total cost, including maintenance, will be between £50,000 and £60,000.
