Sir P. Hannon

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will issue instructions to the trade commissioner at Cape Town to encourage by every practical means the export of wine and brandy produced in South Africa for the British market.

Mr. Marquand

The primary function of His Majesty's trade commissioners is to promote the export of United Kingdom products to the areas in which they are stationed. The encouragement of South African exports to the United Kingdom is the responsibility of the Government of the Union of South Africa.
