§ Mr. D. J. Williamsasked the President of the Board of Trade how many firms in South Wales have been asked to switch over to a new type of production to meet the needs of the export drive; and with what results.
§ Mr. H. WilsonI and my officials in South Wales have constantly pressed local firms in common with those in other parts of the country to increase their exports, including where necessary the development of new lines of manufacture. The results are, I understand, reflected in the latest figure of exports from firms in South Wales which shows a gratifying increase.
