51. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the future of the regional export officers employed by his Department.

Mr. H. Strauss

Regional controllers of the Board of Trade are devoting increased attention to the work of export promotion and the export sections of a number of regional offices have been strengthened. The title of regional export officer has been discontinued, but the work is being vigorously developed.
