HC Deb 04 July 1951 vol 489 c220W
65. Mr. Janner

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is aware that many foreign visitors to the Festival of Britain are handicapped by not knowing the English language; and what would be the cost of printing the catalogue in one or in two foreign languages.

Mr. Stokes

The cost of printing, say, 100,000 guides to the South Bank Exhibition and 10,000 catalogues in one foreign language would be approximately £16,000 and £4,000 respectively. The Festival Office considered the matter at the appropriate time, but decided that such expenditure would not be justified.
