HC Deb 06 November 1946 vol 428 cc259-60W
94. Sir J. Mellor

asked the President of the Board of Trade why the "Britain Can Make It" Exhibition is to be closed to the public on the morning of 15th November and subsequent Friday mornings; and who will be admitted on these occasions.

Mr. Belcher

When it was decided to keep the Exhibition open until the end of the year, the Council of Industrial Design arranged for a part of the additional time to be reserved for special classes of visitors who have hitherto been deprived of the opportunities they properly needed for studying the exhibits, by reason of the large crowds during the hours when the Exhibition is open to the public. Accordingly, from 12th November, it will be closed to the general public on Tuesday and Friday mornings. On these mornings, trade and foreign visitors and others having a professional interest in the Exhibition will be admitted, and on Tuesday mornings schools parties as well.
