76. Air-Commodore Harvey

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many industrialists have travelled to Japan from this country since VJ-Day.

Mr. Marquand

Nine British business men have travelled to Japan from this country since V J-Day in an official capacity on behalf of His Majesty's Government, but so far as I am aware, n. official permission has been granted to any industrialists, as such, to enter Japan for their own purposes.
