§ 28. Colonel J. H. Harrisonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will set up an export sales council to investigate overseas markets.
§ Mr. MackesonI doubt whether the establishment of a general body of this kind would be of material assistance. The study of individual overseas markets seems to me to be best carried out by industry itself, through trade organisations or individual firms, by trade missions such as that which has just left for Central America, and by the commercial services maintained overseas by the Foreign Office and the Board of Trade.
