HC Deb 17 March 1943 vol 387 cc1190-1W
Mr. Wakefield

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider setting up a post-war export trade development committee with a view to stimulating a healthy export trade in order that the financial obligations of the Beveridge scheme may be able to be implemented and the hopes of the people for security from want fulfilled?

Mr. Johnstone

As explained in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Oxford (Mr. Hogg) on 2nd February and during the Debate on economic policy on the 3rd February, my right hon. Friend has already established a committee on post-war export trade which is conducting a comprehensive study of the special problems which will face our export trade after the war.
