Dollar Exports Board

HC Deb 25 October 1949 vol 468 cc127-8W

88. Mr. John E. Haire

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether an early report can be expected from the Dollar Exports Board.

Mr. H. Wilson

The Dollar Exports Board is entirely independent of the Board of Trade or any other Government Department. It is doing very good work in the dollar export field, but it is not for the Government to make a statement on its behalf. I am, however, sending my hon. Friend a copy of two statements on its activities recently issued by the Dollar Exports Board. No doubt the Board will issue further statements on its work from time to time.
