§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the British Trade Fair to be held in Lisbon from 29th May to 14th June, 1959; and what are his plans to have Scottish trade, industry and culture fully represented at it.
§ Sir D. EcclesThis Fair is being organised by the Federation of British Industries to show goods of all kinds manufactured in the United Kingdom. The Federation hope that many Scottish firms will take part. An official stand in the Fair will be arranged by the Board of Trade; it is intended that it should display products of Scotland as well as of other parts of the United Kingdom. There will also be a series of public events in Lisbon at the time of the Fair which the organisers hope will include representations of the life and culture of Scotland.
