§ 20. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the President of the Board of Trade how many agents in foreign countries he has appointed for the purpose of promoting trade, industry, and commerce between those countries and Scotland; what are their qualifications for that work; in which country each is located; how long each has been so operating; and what specific results each has achieved, with particular regard to Aberdeen and the north-east of Scotland where new industries are badly needed.
§ Mr. Vaughan-MorganWe have trade commissioners or Foreign Office commercial officers in nearly all the world's important trade centres. Their job is to serve the interests of the trade and industry of the United Kingdom including, of course, those of Scotland.
