HC Deb 30 May 1951 vol 488 c16W
68. Sir H. Roper

asked the Minister of Food why the application for the exhibition of the food hygiene display stand at the Camelford Agricultural Show was refused; and what was the estimated cost of showing it there, including the cost of transport, erection and dismantling.

Mr. Webb

I am sorry that we were not able to send our display stands to the Camelford Show. The reason is that it was designed for use at local Clean Food Exhibitions lasting for a week or more, and it would be impracticable, because of the high cost of transport, installation and dismantling, to send it to exhibitions lasting only for one day. We are, however, considering the production of a smaller display for use at one-day shows and I intend to get in touch with the Camelford authorities in the hope that we may be able to co-operate with them in their future activities.
