HC Deb 12 May 1949 vol 464 c114W
5. Mr. S. Shephard

asked the President of the Board of Trade how the appointment of Sir Graham Cunningham as leader of the new export drive to dollar countries affects the position of Mr. Neville Blond; and how the duties of these two persons will be co-ordinated.

Mr. J. Edwards

The services of Mr. Neville Blond as Trade Adviser in the United States of America will of course continue to be available to His Majesty's Government so long as his appointment lasts, and I have no doubt that his experience will be of the greatest value in connection with the intensified efforts to earn dollars for which Sir Graham Cunningham's special help has been enlisted.
